My condolences to the family. I worked with Edith at VSP and she was a sweet loving person. I still have a few of her beautiful crafts she made & when I look at them I think of her. May God give you comfort and peace in the days ahead.

Janet and Steve, I am so sorry for your loss. 90 years is a pretty good run. We could all hope to live to be 90. She was a nice woman and I remember Al.
