Dear Family, We are so sorry for your loss. We always enjoyed talking with her when we would see her. May God Bless You.
Miss Edie you will be missed my friend. I always loved hearing all the old JCEC stories when you came in the clinic. You are up in heaven with all our other dear co worker's we miss. Give Dr Johnson a big hug up there! Love you my friend!
I am sorry to hear the passing of Edith. I was her neighbor when she lived in Jimtown. I have many fond memories from growing up together. She was always a strong Christian friend.
