My sincere condolences to all of you on the passing of Edith. I had the opportunity a few years back when attending a conference in Winnipeg to visit her at home. Sitting in a car out front, I called her and said it was Carole Brooks...Arnold and Joyce's daughter. Oh yes, she said, it would be wonderful to see you. She opened the door and we had a big hug. Though I had not seen her in many, many years she said I hadn't changed and I said the same of her, for it was true. We had a very nice visit and I was glad that I had the chance to see he after so many years. My Mom and Dad were very excited when I told them I had visited with her. I spoke to her a couple of times since then but would have loved to have seen her again. She will always hold a special place in my heart. - Posted by: Carole Brooks (Family Friend) on: Apr 24, 2017

I began corresponding with Edith after my mother in law passed away. She was from the Giles family of Walkhampton Yelverton Devon UK. I only used to write and send a card at Christmas, but she always told me that she enjoyed my letters. She sounded a lovely warm and caring person. - Posted by: Ray and Hilary Fielding (Far distant relation of Ray. Ray's gran was Bertha Giles from Walkhampton ) on: Apr 09, 2017
