I have the sweetest memories of Aunt Edie. To me she was one of the last pioneer women. There was nothing she couldn’t do, and she kept doing it all to the last moment. I bet that was some reunion party in heaven!
My most sincere condolences to all the family and all the people who loved her,
Michelle Schon
