My husband and I knew Mr. and Mrs. Mead from 25 years ago. They were close friends of my in-laws, and the Meads were kind enough to lend their house at Deep Creek for a weekend to my husband and I. They also joined us at Rehoboth beach one year. Our thoughts and prayers are with those left behind. - Russell and Nancy Hart

Edith and Edie your friends called you,
and some Speedy Edie, a fun nickname, too!
To the Fabulous Five you were "Mom",
a title you carried with pride.
You wanted to give them all the best and for that everyday you strived.
And then came the Nifty Nine and, boy, were they a treat!
Just the thought of being with their Nana, I know made their hearts skip a beat.
And last but not least came the Great Two, "Big Nana" they called you and they felt it, too.
They might not have met you well, Edie,
but they will know in their hearts who you were.
Because Fabulous Five and Nifty Nine will always tell them, be sure...
