Posted at 17:55h, 16 OctoberEdith always had a smile and hug ready whenever I saw her. She worked hard all her life in support of her family and like me, loved her garden. Her late husband, Jim, plowed our garden years ago with a team of mules for three dollars. I have fond memories of visiting with her and her sister Helen over the years, and they will always remain close in my thoughts. In recent times, we were kindred souls in enjoying rocking on the porch with visitors. May fond memories of your wonderful mother bring you peace and solace during this difficult time.
