    pLong ago I worked with Edith when we sort of shared a job at Henderson Home Appliances in Lepanto.During this time she had twin boys, one of which she sadly lost. I moved from there and lost touch with her and Lyle, with whom I also worked and of whom I was very fond.It pleases me to know she did so much with her life, but I expected no less. May she rest in peace. Doris Jean (Wells) Bowsher
