"Ms. Winders..as you know, I didn't know Ms. Edith was your sister untill the night at the funeral home. She was a special lady. I am truly blessed to still have a part of her through you. Like you, she always had a smile on her face. She was a very hard worker. Bennie and I will pray for you tonight that God help you through this hard time. You know how to reach us if you need anything at all. I love you. ....Carolyn"

"I worker with Edith at Burlington.
She was a sweet friend who I introduced her to my step-dad after my mom passed.
It was love at first sight between her and James!
She was a wonderful woman who loved all her children.
She taught me to make home made biscuits and how to fry deer meat. We ate many meals at her home.
What an honor it was to know her.
Love to the family.
You all will be in my prayers."
