Mike and family, we are so sorry for the loss of your mother and dearly loved family member. We will keep everyone in continued thoughts and prayers. If you need anything at all or if we can do anything, please just let us know. Love Laura and Russell Dillingham
May our Lord comfort you during this difficult time.
Mrs Edith was such a beautiful person. When I first came to Pinecrest Baptist Church she was one of the first people I meant, she and her husband. I am sorry for your lost.
Dear Mike & family. My thoughts & prayers are with you in this time of loss, but our loss is heaven’s gain! She is no longer in pain. She is at home with her Lord & Savior! Amen!
Edith was my father’s cousin who moved to my hometown of Yuma, AZ when I was in grade school. She was such a sweet ‘Aunt’ to me and my sisters. I realized later the extent of the sacrifices she made for her family. She loved the Lord Jesus and tried to live for Him through it all. I know she is in His presence today.
We are both very sorry for your loss and Prayers to all of the family!
I met Edith thru Irene McKinney, she was a very sweet Lady!! So Sorry for the Families Loss. Praying for Family!
This week my heart has been flooded with memories of my sweet Aunt E! She loved me from the day she saw my mama pass out and knew I was on the way! She always treated me like her own daughter. Her hard-working ways and her accepting smiles will never be forgotten. She made the yummiest creations in her kitchen. And I recall so many family and friends gatherings at her Yuma home on Avenue C! She was the perfect hostess and always saw that the needs of others were met. She was an amazing example of loving God and loving others. I thank God that He allowed my life to be touched by hers. Though the miss is great, my heart smiles as I remember. Much love and prayers are sent from here in Arizona to my Uncle Tom, Mike & Donna and girls and their families. I’m thinking of you and holding you up before the One Who knows and loves you more than anyone ever could.
Mrs Edith and Mr Tom has touched my life and heart in so many ways. They both are so special to me. I love you and will miss you dearly Mrs Edith. I will see you again some day. Rest high on that mountain and watch over us left on this Earth. This is such a beautiful tribute to Mrs Edith. Much love from the Graves Family
