Edith and Sonny opened the Pine Tree takeout giving their grandchildren all a summer job. The families favorite place was the camp in Dyer Cove. Many memories were made at the camp.
We loved her dearly and will sadly miss our glue that bonded us all together. She was our go to for problems, and reveled in our accomplishments.
