Edith Blond was my wonderful Mother. I miss her so very much and yes, I too will miss her forever. She was always here for me, and with me, no matter what. I am lost without her, loved her so much.

Edith Blond was my incredibly amazing and wonderful Mother. She was the youngest 91-year old I've ever known and was my best friend. She was wise and funny and, as anyone who knew her will attest, oh so beautiful. I cry for her every day and will miss her forever.
