Edith and Harold were very good friends of my grandmother, Mary Louise Oates. They all worked in Beacon together. While I was growing up, there were alot of visits to each others homes. When my grandmother retired and became sick, Edith and Harold continued to visit and offer their help. My grandmother was very fond of both of them. I am sure they were two of the best friends she ever had. God bless you both. Now you all are together again.
Cousins Greg and Krissy,
I share in your loss of your mother & grandmother. She was Lula’s best friend and they loved talking and gossiping to each other every day. Now they are in heaven together and I’m glad they are together again.
Love always,
Angie
