I have been trying to touch base with Edie for the last four years. I knew Edie years back and since moving to BC I have tried to locate her to no avail. I only new her as Edie and it suddenly occurred to me to try her full name. I am shocked and truly sorry for your loss....she was such a sweet person and loved her daughter passionately. The last time we were together we walked on the beach with Kaleigh who was just a toddler...and had a good day reminiscing on how our lives had taken different paths over the years. I am truly truly sorry and I am sure she is missed by all she new. My deepest sympathies.
