To the Family of Edith, I’m so very sorry for your loss. Edith (Edie) was one of my favorite residents. She always made me laugh with her quick wit. Whenever I would pass by she would give me a wink and a wave. I always loved going the extra when cleaning her room as she always appreciated it. I will miss her very much. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.
