Words cannot express how much your parents meant to me. They always bring a smile and laughter when remembered. I pray that your precious memories help you during this loss. Knowing them made life a better place, their love for each other was inspirational and well as their unconditional love for each of you. With deepest sympathy and love, ~Beth
Such a dear, sweet lady. I got to know Edie when my parents were at Eastview and she was a volunteer for Bingo. She was always to encouraging to everyone to come down and get involved in the activities. I started volunteering at Eastview with her and she was just a delight. She made everyone feel welcome. My condolences to the family. She will be missed by all her Eastview volunteer friends.
