What a beautiful picture!! Elegant and funny yet strict and ever vigilant, Mrs. Ederer always made sure I knew who was in charge 😉 From the playground at St. Alphonsus to the late night lemon drop cookie raids with Colleen I always knew there was no 'pulling the wool' over her eyes...not that I didn't try repeatedly! Mrs. Ederer was smart as a whip, generous with her smile and had more patience with me than I deserved💚 I'll miss her!
