Holt, MI Saturday, February 15, 2025 It seems I've known Edith forever. From serving her and Preston at the waff-l-inn to thanksgiving at her house and a couple visits back to arkansas.. guess its been probably 25 years. She was always good to us and I thought a lot of her. I'm sorry I had no idea. My thoughts are with you, Harv and Karen, I know it's hard, but I know its sadness for us who are left. I imagine she's happy to see Preston and others who left before in a better place than we can imagine. RIP Edith and bless you.Glen and Pat Cummings
