One year ago today you left this life, and it seems like yesterday. Your death has forever changed my life. Now I know what is really important and what passes away.

My belated condolences. I had the pleasure of working with Ms. Gediman at her first job as an attorney, and she was a delight to work with. I hadn't seen her since I attended her wedding up in Cambria, but I'm not at all surprised she went back to her alma mater and became a professor.

I had the opportunity to take Professor Hamblet at Mount St. Mary's College. She was a sweet person. My condolences to the family, especially her sons.

Eddi was a great and very strong mother, despite her physical wicknesses she was always there for her kids. I used to see her mostly at the pick up time, parking her car far, she'll walk to get her kids, taking every chance to talk to them while walking with them to the car.....
Now her soul is watching her kids, taking care of them in a different special way....
May her soul rest in peace.....May God bless her husband, kids and family with courage & patience....
May Our Heavenly Mother Virgin Mary be always next to Beowulf and Dashiell ....

The countless hours I spent volunteering with Eddi since our kids were in preschool have turned into cherished memories. Her confidence, intelligence, radiant smile, strength and ability to laugh at just about anything made her the amazing woman we will all remember. Sure wish I could have another cup of coffee with her. God bless her equally incredible family.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Eddi for about 8 years. We were put serendipitously together in a number of situations. Although I am a healthcare provider, it was always Eddi that helped me, not the other way around. When I had surgery and awaited my biopsy results, she told me “Well you are alive right now...and so am I.” When she was ill she kept right on going... fully immersed in her work at the school, her family, and her profession. She was always ready to give me insight into issues at school or with my kids. My life is a better one for having the interactions that I did with this remarkable woman.
We can all aspire to be more like her.

It is amazing to me to sit here and read all of the comments on Edwiges...I knew her from the 2nd grade when we became friends at St Mel's...when we attended as students....and according to everyone who was active in her life, she never changed...brilliant, sweet, humble, and always smiling! Sometimes the memory of the tiniest flower that we pass by in the warmth of a summer day can save us from the harshest winters eve. Edwiges, you were that tiny flower for many!

Eddi was a parent and head-room-mom in my classroom. Her strength was a calming force in an otherwise hectic place. She had a ready smile and an immediate "yes" to any requests. Because of her Bay and Dashielle were such happy kindergarteners in my class. A dedicated and loving mom now watches over them from up above. Many faces come and go through these classroom doors, Eddi's will never be forgotten.

Eddi was a wonderful friend. We have shared many good times together as we watched our children grow up in the same grades in St. Mel. She always had class, grace and kindness. I will miss her warmth and modesty. She was a brave fighter and a hero to me. Eddi will always be an incredible inspiration. My prayers and support go out to Brian, Bay and Dashiell. God bless all of your family.

Edwiges was my 1st cousin; my father's younger brother's daughter. I had the wonderful fortune to meet and be in the prescence of her at the beautiful wedding of her and Brian in Cambria. It was a glorious day and she was a glorious bride. Her radiant aura shined brightly and her soul smiled on us all. Her brilliant mind overflowed with real and real nice. Anyone who knew her knows what I mean...and it only took a minute to feel it. I wish there were more minutes - there are... and they tick in Beowolf, Dashiell, Brian, Wallita, Jerry and all that she encountered. Sweet Dreams Edwiges - Heaven is closer than Cambria.

My heart goes out to Eddie's family through my thoughts and prayers. My children have been in school with Dashiell (my youngest adores Dashiell)and Beowulf since preschool. I am sad to say that I never got to really know Eddie. We said hello at drop off and pick ups. I wish I had taken the time to get to know her better. It was always nice to see her smiling face. I understand that what Eddie and Brian had was magical...I am so sorry for your loss. Now you all have your very own guardian angel flying along side you.

I feel very blessed to have know and shared a friendship with Eddi. I will miss her deeply and will have fond memories of all the things she encouraged me with... while sitting on the benches waiting for our kids.

Eddie always graced me with her smile. I enjoyed many conversations with Eddie while sitting on the benches in front of Mrs. Marx and mrs. Genders classrooms. Eddie had the most positive spitrit about life. No matter what, she always wanted to be there. Her presence will always be remembered. Thankyou Eddie for letting me in to your life.

Eddi and I first met when our children attended the same preschool and we became friends. I truly loved her "relaxed" attitude about everything and she always reminded me not to worry. I still have books that we traded and read - I will keep them and think of her. Eddi was a very loving wife, mother and friend. I will miss her wonderful spirit.

I had the priviledge to experience Eddi's artistic skills "in action" working on the 1st grade St. Mel "pop art" auction project last year. I will never forget the biggest smile on her face the entire night of the auction as the bidding skyrocketed way beyond our prediction. Thank you for sharing your talent and for your friendship, Eddi.

Eddi was one of the first persons I met when I came to St. Mel and what a wonderful, lasting impression she made on me. She was so warm and welcoming and willing to give of herself and her time even when she wasn’t feeling well. Eddi was truly an amazing woman and I feel lucky to have known her for the time that I did.

Though I only knew Eddi for a few years, I am honored that I was able to know such a beautiful and strong woman! I enjoyed working the coffee booth with her and her lovely family at the carnivals and talking sports and concerts. In the summer of 2008, I received a beautiful note from Eddi and kept it as it was so nice. I came across it after I heard of her passing and will keep that note forever. I will remember her, always!

There is a new special angel up in heaven. Mrs. Hamblet was a strong, loving and devoted mom to her kids. Dashiell was in my class last year. Each time I look at her, I see her mom's sparkly eyes and engaging smile. My prayers are with Mr. Hamblet, Beowulf, and Dashiell. May God Bless all of you . Cathy Genders

I was also very fortunate to volunteer with Eddi at St. Mel School over the years, and what always impressed me about her was her inner strength and determination in everything she did. When she became ill, I saw that same determined spirit in her, nevering giving up, never complaining, and always being positive about it all. She is a true inspiration to me and I will miss her, but I know she's now become a guardian angel to us all! God's peace be with you Eddi and your wonderful family.

I knew Eddi very well as a mom at St. Mel. I really loved and admired her. She was always kind and listened to me even when she herself was ailing. Her spirit is generous and loving. I will remember her always.

Dear Jerry and Walli,
My thoughts and prayers are with you as you mourn your beautiful accomplished daughter Edwiges. May the presence of her beloved husband and Beowulf and Dashiell offer solace in this difficult time.

Eddi was one of a kind. She told it like it is-never worrying about if her opinions were the most popular ones or not! I LOVED that about her!! She was such a huge support to me when I was doing carnival at school. She had done it the year before and was always willing to listen, encourage and share my gripes! She was taken much too soon. I will miss her dearly.

Eddi was a talented, intelligent and over-all amazing woman. But above all else she was a wonderful mother who loved her children and husband dearly. I loved volunteering with her at St. Mel and will miss her greatly. Fortunately for all, her spirit and beauty live on in her children.

I bumped into Eddi at our 20 yr college reunion (MSMC) and remember being struck by how filled with joy she was and how much she enjoyed her work with the students at the Mount. She will be missed.

Edwiges was such a joy at Louisville High School. She was intelligent, fun and kind to everyone. She expressed her own opinions, but accepted everyone as they were. My thoughts and prayers are with Edwiges and her family and friends.

Having just reconnected in the last year with classmates from Louisville HIgh, it was with great saddness that I learned of "Ed's" passing. I will always remember her as a smart, witty girl who was liked by everyone. In high school it is hard to be your own person but Ed was just that and we all admired her for it. My sincere condolences to her family at this tremendous loss.

Eddi was a wonderful friend and an inspiration to all. Her spirit and strength helped me through my own family's health tragedy. We talked often and I keep a card by my desk that she made for me. It says" Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless". This was said by Mother Teresa, but a way of life for Eddi. I will miss her smile but know her spirit will be with us forever and live on through her wonderful husband and children.
Love, Felicia, Marty, and AnnaMia Bresin

I went to Louisville with Edwiges. We called her "Ed." She hung out in our little group. She was quirky and fun to be around. And if we needed help with anything academically, Ed was our "go to" person. She was so smart and destined for greatness.
I was just thinking about her when I heard of her passing. She will be so missed.

I will always remember how Eddi would stay at rehearsals with her daughter helping & smiling at all of the children. She loved the thetare & all of Saint Mel School. She also shared her love for Cambria & the little theatre there that we both love. She was such a special woman.

I knew Edwiges from Lousville High School, as we were classmates. She was an amazingly warm and sensitive person, who was bright and articulate and set off from high school to make her mark on this world! She will be remembered for all the beauty she brought and for the loving family she created. My condolences to everyone who knew her for they are at a loss with her passing. I will attend the funeral, as will many other fellow classmates, and we will remember her fondly.

I did not know Edwiges, but I wish I had. I did know Jerry and Walli, and my heart goes out to you for this terrible loss, for you and the rest of her family. She was obviously a wonderfully gifted woman who the world needed. Taken much too soon. I'm so sorry.
