I volunteered with Edith at UIHC . We often discussed our families and grand children. She was such a sweet lady and I missed her when she chose to stop volunteering. Rest in peace, Edith. Barb Aultman

Our deepest sympathy to your entire family. Edith was a very kind and sweet person. She (and Bob) were our neighbors for 27 years. I know you all will miss her terribly. She was fortunate to have such a loving, caring family. Please take care and know you are in our thoughts and prayers as you deal with this tremendous loss.
