“I am saddened to discover Edith's obituary and send my condolences to the family for their loss. Edith and I met in 1963 while we were employed at the Service Bureau Corp, a subsidiary of IBM. I have many fond memories of our friendship and times we spent together in the 1960's and 1970's. We tried to connect in the 1990's with another co-worker but were unable to meet up at the time. Rest in peace my friend.”
