My cousin Edith

Lately my memories of Edith are based on my stops at her kitchen - always the coffee pot was on and she and I would visit while Minord read the paper and occasionally joined in. Edith's care of Minord was a demonstration of the values of her life. She honored the responsbilities of her marriage when a lot of the joy had left but she continued to care for Minord with compassion and love. She was and will be an example to me of what a loving family meant. She did not question the challenges thrown to her by the people she loved and she did not ever judge them. She was happiest surrounded by family and needed by family. I will miss her every time I drive to Saskatoon for a meeting. I regret that I did not get to tell her about my expected grandchild because she would have celebrated that fact in a way that no one else could. Today I spent 6 hours writing history on the back of photos I only wish that she had had the time to do that. Hugs to you all
