Bea Robinson Edith's Swink's roommate at Golden Living in 2007 asked me to submit her personal condolences to the family. Mrs.Swink & my mom became friendly. When Mrs.Swink left to go to Grace Park my mother always asked if I heard from her or saw her & when I saw Mrs. Swink she did the same.My mother says she will keep the family in her prayers & may Mrs.Swink rest in eternal peace.

Gramma was the foundation of this family. Through all the years, she provided a warm home to all of us where we shared many great times. Gramma I will keep with me forever the precious memories of snuggling up with you on your rocking chair as a child to watch the Sound of Music, the smell and taste of your spaghetti sauce, and the joy you found in the dogs and us children! I love you dearly, may you finally rest.

Mom was the glue that held the puzzle together. At 89 she still held that strength and we all love her.
Goodbye Mom, it's your turn to be unconditionally loved.

I am extremely sad that my grandmother is gone and will miss her more than any amount of words can express, but I know she is happy now. She is in a better place and still watching over us everyday. She lived a long and wonderful life and is now with the man she loves, where she belongs and where she has wanted to be. I love you Grandma!

Our condolences to Lynn and family. Edith will surely be missed. Her devotion to her family was beyond reproach. Whenerver there was a family member ill or in need, she would be there. I remember her so vividly walking into the ER on numerous occasions. Even in illness, she was concerned about the family. May your memories confort you in days ahead. Take comfort in knowing our thoughts and prayers are with you. Be strong. With sympathy Bill & Ruth Adams

My heart is broken to read about Mimi's passing. She was such a wonderful and special person in my life. Even though our conversations were few over the last several years, when we did speak, we would pick up right where we left off. Mimi's made a lasting impression on my life. I'm sad to say I won't be attending her services, but my thoughts and prayers are with the family. Her family was everything to her.
