To the family of Edith Light,
We were sorry to hear of Edith's death. Kay is the younger daughter of Elmer and Mildred Light of Marion, Virginia. She remembers seeing Edith and Rifton frquently as a child. Ron met Edith once at Kay's mother's funeral and we kept in touch with her by way of cards and telephone calls. She was a sweet lady and we thought a great deal of her and Rifton. Take care and best wishes to all of you.
Ron and Kay Smith, Chesterfield, Virginia
