Our thoughts and prayers for strength are sent to our volunteer Lauren, George and Colin on the passing of beautiful little Edie.

Edie touched many people’s hearts just by her beautiful eyes and smile, a lost no family should have to face. All our love. Committee, Volunteers and family members. 🩷💜💙💚💔.
