March 27, 2024, I was just going through my storage unit in Rochester, MN, and found a beautiful letter written by you, Ed. McGrath, on May 24, 1989. It was a compliment for my donation to the Master Chorale in the County of Orange, CA.
I did not know that you had passed and hopefully it was an easy passing. My belated best wishes to your family and all the friends that appreciated and loved you.
Sincerely, Joanne C. Sokolski, Emerita, Chief of Protocol, County of Orange.

Dear Susie & the entire McGrath family: It broke my heart to hear of Ed's passing. He's been a very cherished customer of the Quiet Woman for at least the 30 years that I've been there, maybe even longer. He always had nothing but kind words (even when I'd mess up his orders) and truly loved and adored each and every one of you. I can't express how much he will be missed. Very Sincerely......
