My sincere condolences to Uncle Frank, Aunt Vera, Aunt Mary, Aunt Anita, Lisa and family on the passing of your sister and mother. I will always remember Aunt Edie on her laughter and the true stories she would tell about different people she worked for and encountered over her life time. She was very determined and brazen. When she lived in Palm Springs, CA and she saw a celebrity she did not hesitate to go up to them and start talking to them . Sometimes she would be stopped by a bodyguard, but even that didn't stop her from introducing herself to the celebrity. The first time that she attended church in Palm Springs it became the only way that she would travel to get there. She refused to go any other way and riding with someone else, she would correct them if they took a different route. She loved her daughter, Lisa, and her grandchildren very, very much and talked about them and their doings. She struggled with her health, but was always smiling and giggling. May she rest in peace.
