Edith loved her family immeasurably. Jesus called Edith to be a nurturing caregiver, at which she excelled. Edith will forever be known for her kind, compassionate, loving demeanor. She loved to visit the Amish country as much as possible. There were many family card games with her siblings and family reunions that brought her much joy. Edith was always pleased to vacation in Gatlinburg, Tennessee and other eastern Tennessee and Kentucky tourist areas. She loved to collect Angel figurines and to read about Angels.

I realized that the best thing I can do to honor your memory is to take up praying where you left off. I believe that would make you happier than anything else. So, I will pray for Mark, Meagan, Adriah, Brad, Les, Kim, Stephanie, Zach, Robbie, and your second great grandchild on the way. I know you prayed for each and every one of them daily. I will now for you. I have only one regret, and that is Mark and I never got to tell you that we found a church to attend permanently. Rest in peace until we meet again. I love you.
With all my love,
Darlene
