My thoughts and prayers to all of you. I didn't know Edy, but in the course of working with Amy I've met a few family members--and heard enough tales about this spirited sister to have a small sense of what an enormous loss this must be.

Even though we did not know Edy, we heard a lot of good things about her from Maria. We are sure she will be missed by everyone who did know her. Losing a child has got to be the worst thing parents will ever have to go through. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and all the family, and just remember, she is now at peace and is no longer suffering. With our sincerest sympathy, Penny and Dan Bollom
