I started as a companion/aide to Edith about 6 years ago and found in her one of the best friends I ever had. She was amazing, funny, smart, and she regaled me with stories of her life as a young girl living in NYC. There wasn't a time that we weren't laughing about something. We fell into the routine of running errands and always stopping for coffee somewhere and people-watching...with comments of course.

I will miss her but I feel honored to have known her—even if she didn’t tell me for years that she preferred to go by Edie. To me, she’ll always be my friend Edith.

My condolences to her family and friends. Rest in peace beautiful Edith.
