Dan, Eleanor, Emily, Adam and Abbey, We are so sorry to learn of Edie's passing. One of our fondest memories was a Christmas afternoon spent at Edie and Art's and with the entire Nelson family. It was Kristyn and Justin's first experience with snow. Edie was welcoming and gracious and made us all feel like a Nelson. Edie will be missed by your southern relatives and know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers.
