I treasure the Fridays I got to spend with Edith as one of her caregivers over the past several years. Her drive for independence was memorable! I always chuckled at her love of black pepper on her food as a reflection of her "peppery" personality. Yet underneath it all was a caring and loving heart.

We remember Edith being at my sister Kay's and Pete's house for party's and Christmas for many years. She always seemed so quite and polite. We will miss her. Sorrow for Pete, Kay, Steve and Eric, and family.

I am sorry to hear of Edith's passing. She was my ex-sister-in-law. I have not seen or talked with her in over a year. I will not be able to attend the service as I am in Myrtle Beach, SC with my sister who just returned home from rehab of 3-months. I will keep you all in my prayers and know that Edith is with her Lord and in no more physical pain.
