    Dear Doug, Norman, and Families:
    Aunt Edith was such an inspiration . Her kindness, love of life, gentle spirit, and optimism have touched so many – truly a bright light who will never be forgotten. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have spent many childhood hours in her company. Her family feels this way 100 times as much, and I know we are all so grateful to have known her, and sad to see her pass on.
