Edie was quite a gal! She was loved and respected by many, especially by her Aunt Margaret (Freund) and Cousin Fred Freund (and me,Sally). Following in Mimi and Egah's footsteps, she leaves the world a better place because of her.

Sending sympathy to each of you and love,
Sid and Sally Saltzstein

My condolences to Ellen, Deborah, and Arthur, and the rest of the family. Your mother was one-of-a-kind: She was fun to be around, interested in what we 'kids' were up to, and above all a faithful friend for 8 decades to my Mom. How can anyone match such a record? I will always remember her fondly.
