My dear Aunt Edith,
So many memories of you! The ones I hold dear to me is when Johnny and I would come visit you and Uncle REX in Colorado Springs. We always went to Guippies for lunch. You always made me laugh, especially when you would get on Uncle Rex. You were were always a joy to visit with. Rest in peace my sweet sweet women!
