So sorry for your loss! Edythe will be missed by all those who had the opportunity to spend time with her--I will miss her--my neighbor, yet do look forward to seeing her in Heaven one day soon and talking with Jesus.

I hope memories soothe your spirit; family and friends comfort your souls; promises from Almighty God, that there is a hope of seeing your loved one again, bring you peace. My sincere condolences
