May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
Edie lived every minute, and when life gave her a lemon, she made lemonade. Every time I play "May I" I will look to my right and remember Edie.

Aunt Mutt,
When the music played we danced. When all else failed we danced. Never met a more couragious woman/man. I will miss talking to you every June 21/December 21. We so hated Winter and loved the Spring. You taught me well and I hope I am passing on the wisdom to others.
Rest in Peace Dear Auntie...
All my Love, Bobby
