EDITH TURNBULL

I was looking for Edie, born 1946, and I realized this was Aunt Edie who used to baby sit the Baldridge kids. What a wonderful family, wonderful memories. What a legacy Aunt Edie has left to all of you. I know you will miss her...Our condolences....Linda Baldridge Sutt

Aunt Edie,

As we are all left here on Earth heartbroken by your leaving, we are comforted by the loving memories we all have of you and the unselfish good times you gave to us. You always filled our days with your contagious laughter and smile, jokes, and wisdom. I know Heaven was overflowing with Happiness on the day you left us. I also know you were so lovingly greeted at the gates by those who have already left us. [Tell Daddy I Love and Miss him dearly] It brings great comfort knowing we all have a wonderful new Guardian Angel now watching over us. May we all continue to make you and our other departed family so proud of us.

WITH LOTS OF LOVE,

"MILDRED"

Neleppa Family,

You are in our thoughts and prayers.
So deeply sorry for your loss.

Aunt Edie's Family,

A truly wonderful gift in our families lives was having Aunt Edie, not only as our Aunt, but as our Mother. She has filled our lives with so many unforgettable memories, that will never leave our hearts. A true loving person who has always placed her nieces and nephews first, never expected anything in return.Her everlasting love, caring personality, warm hugs and kisses, and her unforgettable smile are what we will always remember our Aunt Edie by. You took such wonderful care of us when we were young and when we lost our mother, and when the time came when you needed us during your time of need Debbie, Linda, Bonnie, Yolanda, Tammy,Jeff, Mike and their children were right by your side, putting all their devotion and love onto you. We love and miss you always.

The Kramer Family

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

TO EDIE'S FAMILY;
EDIE WAS MY SUPERVISOR AT PNB IN THE LATE 60'S. SHE WAS SUCH A GOOD BOSS WE ALWAYS COULD BE RELAXED AND HAVE FUN TIME AT OUR JOBS.

MOST OF ALL WE HEARD TALES OF HER LARGE FAMILY AND ALL THE NIECES AND NEPHEWS. SHE WAS SO PROUD OF ALL OF YOU.

WE WERE ALL TOGETHER A FEW YEARS AGE AT MY HOUSE FOR A CHRISTMAS LUNCH. IT WAS LIKE THE YEARS NEVER PASSED. WE ALL STILL ENJOYED EACH OTHER FRIENDSHIP.

I UNDERSTAND EDIE SPENT HER LAST DAYS AT A HOSPICE. I KNOW WHAT A SERENE PLACE THEY CAN BE FOR THE PATIENT AND THEIR FAMILIES.

I DISTRIBUTE COMMUNION TO PATIENTS AT OUR LOCAL HOSPICE IN MT. LEBANON. IN EDIE NAME I WILL MAKE A DONATION IN HER HONOR.

SYMPATHY TO ALL OF YOUR,

ALENE CAUGHEY

Praise to the Caregivers.

Edie had a lot of love around her at the end of her life here on earth. It was a love that was by many standards not seen much these days.

Very positive comments on her home care was received from Nurses, Clergy, Friends, Doctors, Family, and Many Others who crossed our paths throughout these last few months.

The love that was shown by Edie’s Caregivers in her final months was "second to none"

Hats off to:

Deb, Jeff, Yo, Linda, Tammy, Michelle, Krista, Brit, Jammy, Scotty, David, Ashley, Mary Alice and George, Nancey Jane, Hospice, and anyone else I forgot !!

To All of Edie’s Children,

Edie’s goal in life was to put a smile on every face she saw. She was like a mother to many throughout all of the great years we had with her, and I’m sure the support she got throughout the years from her children was worth its weight in gold.

For the children who were with her through the last months of her life, supporting her, making her laugh, making her fill loved, and letting her know she was one in a million, was priceless.

The long hours that were spent not only making, but also carrying through with 24hr day coverage, 7 days a week, with no external help, in order to help support Edie during her last days with us is unheard of this day and age, but without a doubt very well deserved.

God bless all who put a smile on Edie’s face. And God Bless all who made her final days with us comfortable and happy as possible.

To the Neleppa family,

We are so sorry and sad to hear of Aunt Eidth's passing. We know how close all of you were to her.

Cindy you took care of her as she was your own mother. And we know the void that was now created.

May you all have wonderful memories of Edith Gladys!

Love the Stasa Family

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
