Mom, what a treasure you were to me. So happy you are now with Jesus, Dad and Ken. what a precious, precious mother. Carlene

I had the privilege of working with Edie only for a short period of time. Her genuine smile and positivity seemed to be such a reflection of who she was as a person. She set a great example for people around her. I will miss her dearly. Caroline

"Hey Grammy" You always knew who it was when I said "Hey Grammy" when I entered the room or called you on the phone. All it took was the voice and you knew! I loved the brief but meaningful talks we had over the years as life continued to fly by. I so look forward to having those talks with you again someday. You will be missed dearly by me and my family. With Love, Brett, Shellee & Family Anonymous

I so enjoyed talking with Edith whether at church, her place or over lunch. She was always so full of life, so positive and just plain fun to be with. What a beautiful lady. I will always cherish the memories I have of her. Ann Haveman
