I worked with Edith and looked forward to hearing her hum in the hallways! She was always very cheery, and brightened everyone's day. I will miss her greatly!

When I first met Edie I was struck at her unwavering loyalty to her parents and family. She was such a hard worker and never had an unkind thing to say. She was a gift to those who knew her and will be sorely missed. I look forward to seeing her again one day.
