To All Family Members: We are so sorry for the loss of your mother, grandmother, greatgrandmother, sister and all other relatives. I know it hurts to lose a parent as Lee's mother died last month. Hold on to the great memories. It was nice that we could see everyone at visitation. Brenda & Lee Branner 2009-02-21 18:47:00

I was quite surprised to learn of Edith\'s death! My sympathy and understanding of your loss. It\'s our loss too - Our family has fond memories of many good times, conversations and delicious meals in her home when we would come to VA for visits. She was a special person and will lovingly be remembered. Blessings, Hazel Huffman & Daughters , Abby & Alisa Hazel K. Huffman 2009-02-21 19:45:40

Rickie, Judy, Wayne and Families; My condolences on your loss. Thoughts of your mom are part of fond memories I have of childhood and growing up in the same neighborhood as your family. Cherish your own memories of her and take comfort in knowing a mother’s spirit lives on forever in her children. Eddie Moyers Eddie Moyers 2009-02-22 08:36:51

Dear Wayne, Judy, and Rickie, I remember the twinkle in your mother's eyes, her sense of fun and, when I was a child guest in your home, the feeling that she could whip us into shape as slick as she could roll a strike in the bowling alley. Loved her, just loved her. Wish I could have been there with you in remembering her. Hugs to all. ~Lisa Alisa Bair 2009-02-23 02:32:29

To Edith's siblings and family: Bill and I remember Edith as a very fine bowler, during the years we were also league bowling. We have a print which her husband, Charles Baber, had drawn, and learned that Edith did the matting and framing for it. It reminds us of our association with Edith and family. We extend our sympathies and love, Bill and Barbara (Campbell) Showalter Bill & Barbara Showalter 2009-03-14 12:24:50
