I miss you every day. It was 10 years yesterday since you left. I´ll never be as good as you were, Momma; but I sure had a beautiful example to follow.

All of us remember you with so much love. God is with us and we´re grateful that you taught us that.

God wrote a beautiful story of your life for us. In tough times, we often ask ourselves, "What would Momma do?"

Until I see you again, I will treasure your memory. Thank you for giving me those.

My sister (Wanda Dannelly McSwiney) and I had a special bond with our Aunt Edith. Her generation was known as "The Greatest Generation" and, without question, that acknowledgment is well deserved. She was the youngest and last survivor of our mother's (Floriede Clark Dukes Dannelly) family. We celebrate her life and treasure her memories. She has left this life and entered a new life that is eternal and joyful. Aunt Edith will forever be in my thoughts and prayers.

Edith was a very special lady. I got to know her several years ago through Nita, and called her my second mother for a long time. Blessings to all the family.
