When I think of Edith, I smile, what a wonderful person! She was so quick to respond with her funny comments, I loved that about her. I am so happy that I was able to visit with her the past few months when I delivered food to her.
She was a very blessed to have such a kind and loving care person,(Janice), I am a witness to that.
I will never forget Edith, we have lost a dear saint in our community!

I am so sorry to hear the loss of such a wonderful and caring lady. She and her husband Cline were pillars in the little white church I grew up in. Growing up, I was friends with her grandchildren, but Wayne, C.C., and Brian, they were more like family. I want them to know, as well as the entire family, she was very proud of all of you, and if there is anything I can do, please call. God bless you all.

To Michael, Wayland, Emil, Tony and families: I am saddened at the loss of your mother. I always thought she was a fine lady and I know how proud she was to have raised good children to send out into the world. She was such a nice lady.

I am sorry to hear about Edith. She was a very nice and caring person. I remember seeing her at church when I went there when I was younger. She was always caring.

We were so sorry to hear of Mrs. Porter's passing. Our memories of her were that she possessed a pleasant, positive outlook on life. She truly loved all of her family,her church, and most of all, the Lord. This is her "graduation" day, graduating to a wonderful place set aside for Gods people - no sickness. Our prayers will continue to go up for the entire family.

Dear Emil and family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of your mother's loss. I was blessed to have a mom like yours. She has been gone over twelve years and I still miss her so much. She indeed was the best friend I ever had. May your faith give you and yours the strength you need during this sad time.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Edith was a wonderfully nice lady. It seems more and more of the people who knew and loved my dad, Ben, are passing away. It is a loss everytime, my heart goes out to you all, especially Tony, you were always a good friend.

Nina will be sorely missed. Her failing health those last several years seem patchy in comparison to the decades of love & care she provided in my life. To her sons: You boys did a great job taking care of her--she told me just this past Sunday, "They are such good boys I don't know what I would do without them." She loved everyone-she didn't care if you were a garbage collector or a CEO....all the same in God's eyes.
