I'll miss her so much. Both of my two front teeth were missing a while back and we went over to her house for Christmas, and she started singing all I want for Christmas is my two front teeth! I loved her so much. And I always will.

Edythe was a remarkable lady in life who will be missed greatly. She and I were both members of Retired Teachers,DAVA< and others. She was always cheerful despite any setbacks. I hope that her loved ones can find comfort in the kind of life that she lived. She surely will be missed.

To the Brown family, our deepest sympathy to all of you. It's hard to lose your parents, we thought a lot of Edythe. When walking the old neighborhood she would always stop and visit, she was a great lady.

Edythe was a wonderful cousin and one of the most fun people I've ever been around. Raymond used to tease that we flirted WAY too much. But that was one of the things I loved most - they were such a happy couple who truly loved life. I'll miss her here, but I take comfort that they are together again for eternity this time. My love to you all. Eric

Edythe was a lovely and fun lady, with many talents, a great laugh and wonderful attitude. She loved her family more than life.
If we could see with our spiritual eyes, we would have witnessed the most awesome homecoming celebration when she entered the gates of Heaven. Her loving husband Raymond and granddaughter Lindsey, her parents and many other loved ones to welcome her home. She now has a new spiritual body, no more pain, tears or heartaches.
May God give her family peace and erase the pain they are feeling, knowing she is happy and will be waiting for them to join her.
We will miss this special lady, she had a big heart and we loved her much.

Ms Edythe was a blessing sent from God as she crossed my path. I felt she was cheated each time I visited with her because I left being uplifted just sitting and visiting with her. I loved her and Mr Raymond very dearly. I never knew what to expect from Ms Edythe as she would never let me in on what her "wit" for the day was until she could catch me off guard. She was precious in every aspect of life. She loved her family so dearly and that showed by the amount of time she spent talking about them. She also loved her Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and loved to share about their personal relationship.together. She had some precious times alone with Jesus. Now she is in His presence. I look forward to meeting up with her and Jesus in the future. Thank you family for allowing me to be a part of her life and part of her homegoing service.

So sorry to learn of Mrs. Edythe's death. She was a very special lady. I knew her long ago when she was friends with my mom and then got to catch up with her at Farris Holliman's in these later years.
