Dear Paul

Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss. May you find comfort in knowing that Edie is peacefully at rest. At this time of sadness may you find strength in the loving memories of your life together and in the warm and loving thoughts of others. I will always remember Edie as the special, caring and giving friend that she was to me. We had some wonderful times together that I will never forget. I will always carry her in my heart. I know she will always watch over you and guide you where ever you go. She will always be with us in spirit. God bless you and take care of you.

Love

Marie
