Edith - who much preferred to be called Edie - wore many hats. She was a sister to eleven siblings, a wife, a mother, a seamstress, a baker and cake decorator, a bit of a flirt, and a certified troublemaker of long standing.

After answering a call, I took a spoonfull of the white stuff and, holding the jar in my other hand, ate the spoonful while standing near my co-workers door.
