Who did not like Edith? I can't imagine anyone not liking her. She was so easy to get along with and has been a friend of our family for over forty years. Truly she was a Proverbs 31 woman. Not only have her sons arisen and called her blessed, but all of her neighbors have done the same. She was the light of second street in Ranlo and will forever be missed by all who knew her. I have only been made better by knowing you Edith...

My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time. There is no doubt in my mind that Sister Thompson has stepped onto the golden streets in Heaven and walked through the pearly gates in Glory! She will be remembered for the kind, gentle spirit she had. May peace be with the family knowing she is in a better place.

With Deepest Sympathy,
