Dear Cousins,
Was sorry to hear about Sweet Aunt Edith.  She was such a sweet and gentle soul.  She was always happy in a contageous way.  She would even smile and laugh when working her behind off at IGA.  I love her as many do.  I'm sure you are proud to call her your mother.  
Love you all - April Gray & Family
