I am so sorry to hear of this news. Edith and I had such a great relationship at Fernbrae and I always loved to see the twinkle in her eyes as we chatted at her dining table. She loved to tell me all about her past history and boy did she have some great stories. Sending my thoughts and prayers to the family, she had a great life.

I am so sorry for your loss. I remember your momma/grandmother, she was a good friend to my parents, Nick and Maria Lischka. They did many things together, such as bowling and playing cards. Perhaps they are all playing canasta in heaven today! ;-)

Sending you love and hugs!
