You can’t see me or touch me
But I am standing next to you
Your tears can only hurt me
Your sadness makes me blue
Be brave and show a smiling face
Let not your grief show through
I love you from a different place
Yet I am standing next to you

Memories of Edith will always make our hearts smile.
With a twinkle in her eye and such a kind and happy spirit, Edith’s visits to Marj and Don’s (Groove and Gramps) for a game of Canasta and a cup of tea were always a fun time. Full of laughter and good -natured banter, it was relaxed and loving company that was dearly shared and always treasured.
Keep shining Edith.
Love Caroline (Green) and Stu xxSo sad to hear the passing of dear Edith

Love LyndaWhat a wonderful women was our dear Edith. From day 1 when she moved into Andrews House I knew I was in trouble and yes that’s what we were to each other. Never have I meet such a kindred spirit we only had to know each other was in hearing distance for the banter to start. Edith you held such a special place in my heart and one that will not be replaced. To all of Edith’s family please accept my heart felt condolences to you all. RIP Edith fly high with the Angels. And the blue boys better do you proud xxx

You have filled my heart with so many amazing memories you gave me such a memorable childhood. From going up to Marj & Don Greens to taking me on the train to watch to Blues v Bombers holidays down the beach and so much more. I am lost without you and will never stop loving you.
Until we meet again beautiful Nan ♥️Edith, although I never had the privilege of getting to know you, I do however know your sons. You have an amazing family so full of love for one another. You must have been a great mother/ teacher and role model. Your legacy lives on through the lessons and lives of your children.

Thank you for being part of our lives . You are missed. We are thinking of the great loss felt by the many members of her large family. With love Jillian and Peter McCourt
