From the time I was a child and over nearly 60 years, I loved being in the presence of Edie. Many times I stood in her kitchen visiting my dear friend Tom, or heading out to a ballgame with Annie and Tom. Edie had a very calming and peaceful demeaner as well as being kindhearted and graceful. She always took time to ask how things were going and offered words of wisdom that seemed appropriate for the situation.
If even a tiny bit of Edie rubbed off on to those of us who knew her, our chances are greater to see her again. She will be missed.
