    Dear Roemersberger & Bachman Families, I send my sympathies in the loss of your mother, grandmother & great-grandmother. Edith was a lovely person & I always enjoyed visiting with her. I will always remember the afternoon that we enjoyed a cup of ice cream together and she told me all about her family that she dearly loved. God's Blessings to all of you, Audrey

    Dear Roemersberger Family, I wanted to express my sympathy in the lost of your Mother. She spoke often of all of you and talked about what a wonderful family you were. Edith added so much to my life by teaching me to play the piano. As time went by, Edith and i moved beyond teacher/student and became friends. She came to every one of my piano student's recitals and was always so encouraging in her comments. She will be missed. sally anderson
