Edie (aka: I'm going to kick ass and have fun as long as I live). Although I was not a blood member of your family, I was a member none the less. Tony told me today that you had passed. Just as he had many conversations with my sister before she died, you and I spoke, but not as often as we should have. You were a great friend and somewhat like an older sister. You will be greatly missed by many. Tony has a message from me that he will give you as he leans close to you either Thursday or Friday. In closing, you fought the good fight and kicked ass until the end. Bravo to you!!!

Dear Tom, Pam, Tommy and Alex - I am so sorry to hear of Edie's passing. She was a wonderful Wife, Mother, Grandmother and friend. I am so glad I was lucky enough to become friends with Pam and meet her lovely Mother almost 40 years ago. She had a sparkle and spunk that can't be duplicated. And she loved you all so much. May you all carry her love for you in your hearts for the rest of your lives. And I hope that one day soon that your tears can be replaced with a little smile on your face when you think of the many wonderful times you shared with her. Much love,KimIndianapolis
