You guys were the best neighbors and we loved having you be such a big part of our lives. Edith was a truly beautiful lady both inside and out. She had such grace and love for everyone. She was such a blessing in our lives and the boys will never forget her orange dream bars!

Mike, I googled your name and found this site. I actually got the idea from Luann. Her ability to wrangle up information about people is kind of scary! Anyway, I just wanted you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in this trying time. Your students are missing you and keep asking how long you'll be gone. Luann and I are looking forward to your return as well. I want you to know that I am thinking of you and hope that you can find some peace in reflecting on all the good your mom had in your life. Take care and return to us safely. -Blair Allen

Bennie, I'll still be sending you cards to let you know I'll be thinking of you. If you need anything don't hesitate to let me know.

Bennie we were so sorry to hear about the passing of Aunt Edie. We were so blessed to have gotten to know her and doubly blessed because she became our "Aunt". We will always remember the wonderful times we had with her at Grandma June's and all the family events. We love you and pray the Lord will give you strength and support at this time.
Love,
Bruno, Kathy and Emily

Bennie and Michael, so sorry to learn of your loss of Edith. Bennie, I was trying to remember the last time I saw you both---I think at a holiday craft bazaar---when we had such a nice visit. And Mike, I remember well how much Edith supported us in our teaching careers at Norway High School. What a super mom, friend, and woman. You're in my thoughts and prayers. Trudy

Dear Bennie, We were sad to learn of Edith's passing and appreciated Jan's phone call to let us know. There were tears for all of you, knowing how precious a person Edith was in your lives and the lives of many. Her life will be remembered and appreciated by many. We will never forget her gracious gift of typing a long dissertation and how the four of us collated the pages together, nor will we forget the lovely visit at your Cedar Rapids home and sharing memories. You and your family are in our hearts and our prayers. Please know our thoughts are close with all of you.

It was very sad to learn of Edith's passing. She was a lady who loved gardening, making cookies and above all loved her family and her church. It was my pleasure to work with Ben for several years and become acquainted with his family. My thoughts and prayers are with Ben, Mike and Edith's
brothers and sisters. Jean Ashford
