What a great legacy Edith has left behind. Her memory will live on in her husband, siblings, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and other extended family. You can tell how a person used their time on this earth by how many lives they have touched. This was certainly a life well spent. You are in our prayers during this difficult time.
