You wrote beautifully about Mary, showing your support, love, and respect for her, from the whole family. I think it was great that she had such excellent care that allowed her to enjoy as much of life as possible, before she could not anymore. I send a wish for strength: May being together during this Shiva (days) create a meaningful and peaceful atmosphere for you to grieve. Mary, you left behind good people - well done and thank you - your smile lives on in Beth - I can see it.

Dearest Edson Families, Please accept our most sincerest condolences on the loss of Mrs. Edson z'l. The last time I saw her was in the airport in the first class lounge with my husband. She was coming home with Brenda and I was so happy to catch up with them both and introduce her to my husband and show her photos of my three kids. FYI, when I saw her she never told me to call her Mary, so I referred to her as Mrs. Edson. May you all hold onto all the wonderful memories that you all shared together. BDE. Rochelle "Shelleye Grimson" & Michael Kerzner
