Edie always had a smile. Loved her spirit for life. Did you ever see a person with more rings than fingers? What a great person! She will truly be missed. My sympathies to the entire family.

We are so sad the world has lost a beautiful "queen". I think I learned more from her at each of her visits then she may have learned from me. I will truly miss her smiling face and the hugs I received each time I saw her. She has a special place in my heart for sure. I will always remember her.

I am so glad that I stopped in to see you Thursday, never knowing you would be leaving us so soon. I will always remember your smile and all those "sparkling jewels" 😊😊 and you driving up the street honking your horn and "hollering " out the window to me....or you just stopping by and us just "gabbing about anything and everything.
I leave you a "White Feather" for your love of everything Native American. Till we all meet again...
Your neighbor and friend
