Dear Jill and Jed,
My love and thoughts are with you and my heart goes out to you. You know how much I absolutely ADORED your Mom.I'll never forget the day she helped me find my wedding dress in New York. And all the fun we had talking about antiques, fashion and decorating. I have so many wonderful memories of the happy times our families shared. I'm so lucky to have had your Mom as my "Aunt Edith".
I will cherish her memory forever.
