We are so very sorry mom is gone. We wish her peace. She visited us about a month ago. We had a great chat. She was busy taking care of the house and looking forward to the county finally getting the drainage problem taken care of in the yard. We will miss her. She always had very kind words for us all. Our love to the family during this difficult time in your lives. Doug and Doris Bryant

I was shocked to see Edie's obituary in the paper. Having been her long-time hairstylist, I enjoyed Edie's company very much and enjoyed sharing stories of our families. She had been with me for years and I feel that she was part of my family. She always asked about my kids and the rest of my family. We talked about so much during her hair appointments and I know that she always felt better when leaving the salon. I am saddened by hearing this, and grieve with her family. I am very thankful for her friendship over the years and will truly miss her. Prayers are with her family and friends. I am truly heartbroken.

I met Edie through the Hospice Walking group several years ago. We have had many interesting conversations about gardens over the years. I think she always enjoyed our lively group discussions. I am sad to hear of her death. My condolences to Gary and the rest of her family.

I'm sad to know that Edie is gone, but will always be grateful that I was able to know her the time that I did in our walking group. My deepest condolences to all of her family.

I met Edie soon after Bob died. She joined a Hospice bereavement walking group that I was coordinating at the time. I believe she truly enjoyed our group, made many new friends and came to many of our get-togethers. I am so sad to hear of her death and am writing to express my condolences to Gary and the rest of her family.
