02.01.2008 : Emma Robertson wrote Edith was my auntie, and she was a wonderful, caring person. You could always count on Edith to be open and honest with you. She was the rock in my uncle Terry's life, and she will be sadly missed by everyone who knew her, especially her family. We love and miss you Edith xx Emma x
09.01.2008 : tracey markey wrote Edith was my step mum, although she was more like my Mum! She never made us feel like we were anything other than her own children. My Dad made a good choice when he married Edith, so thank you Dad.
I cannot begin to say how much I loved Edith, I hope she knew. I still find it hard to believe I will never see her smiling face or hear her laugh again. She was adored by many, especially my dad. The world has lost a good kind, caring lady who will be remembered by many especially by her family.
Rest in peace Edith we love you xxx Tracey xxx
10.01.2008 : Terry Markey wrote I am proud to say Edith was my wife. She was also my lover, and my best friend, in fact she was my life.
We were put on this earth to be together, so I can not understand why fate has been so cruel, but even through my tears I can still see her smile, and I know she will give me strength to get through it.
I love you Edith xxxxxx.
11.01.2008 : Carrie Vetters wrote "Edith was my Mum, I loved her to bits even though I maybe didn't tell her as often as I should have. She was the kindest person and always knew I could ask her if I needed her, often I didn't even have to ask. I hate to think that she'll not be around in the coming years and of what she'll miss. I like to think that she'll be with us, though, and watch over us."
"I love you Mum and I'll never forget you,
your daughter Carrie (aka Pansy Potter!)

11.01.2008 : katherine dowdell wrote Edith was my sister and friend. I loved her very much and am missing her badly. Even though we lived nearly 600 miles apart, for the last 12 years we visited each other and spoke on the phone regularly. Edith kept me very grounded at times as I am a pessimist and she could be a very stong person and could blow away my fears. She was there for me in other times of sorrow and I hope that I was of help to her over the years. Goodnight and god bless Edith, from your ever loving sister Kath xx John sends his love too xx
11.01.2008 : marilyn vearling wrote My sister Edith. None of us can control how much time we have here on earth. We can only control the life we lead while we have it . Edith led a loving gracious, joyful existance. I think of her morning and night and thank God for the gift of sisters. I have you in my heart. Rest in peace love Mal xxx
12.01.2008 : amanda furey wrote Dearest Mum the hardest thing about writing a letter for you is that the words just get in the way, I want to say so much but I'm not a writer so it probably won't come out as what I want it to say but here goes, I loved and still love you so much, we spoke on the phone most days normally me trying to impress you with the fact that I'd made home made roast potatoes not aunt bessies or something equally as silly! i just wish we hadnt been so far away from one another then we could have gone shopping far more often! On a more serious note although I told you I loved you every time we spoke on the phone I didnt express how much I loved you or how I felt honoured to be your daughter. You were a lovely mum and a wonderful nanny to the kids, Don't worry we will take care of Terry. By the way I've had a word with Dean and he's going to look after you now. Goodnight mum and god bless you xxxxxxx
13.01.2008 : Brogan Furey wrote Edith was my Nanny, I shall never forget her and she will always be in my heart. As I said at nanny's funeral - "You had a special touch on life one that's hard to find, like a diamond in a gold mine".

She was special to everyone and was dearly loved. I feel extremely proud to say she was my nanny, and always will. I shall always cry and feel sad about her death but I have learnt that I should also smile about the fun and the memories I had with her, as well. I love you always, Brogan x
14.01.2008 : Jade Hamblin wrote Edith was my nan, not just my nan but a special nan the type where i got butterflies in my tummy and still felt nervous when i knew she was coming down to visit me. I didn't see my nan as much as we would of both liked but that didn't mean that i didn't love her with all my heart and would of done anything for her. I know that she would of loved for me to regularly ring her and speak to her but i was always too nervous no matter what my mum said to me, now that she has gone all of that seems so silly. I know that you and dad are both watching over me now nan and that makes me feel even more special because i have you both watching over me and still loving me. I will always cry and be sad about you both going but i will always be happy when your faces all of a sudden pop up in my head to make my day that bit better. I will always love you with all my heart nan all my love Jade x x x x x x x
16.01.2008 : hayley bangs wrote Edith was a dear friend to me and my family. We met some 9 years ago and very early on we clicked. I felt very comfortable in Edith's company and she welcomed us into her life with open arms, a warm heart, and lots of chocolate biscuits for archie! We had some really good laughs together, "the shop" in particular still makes me smile when I think about it, then cry of course because I miss her. We had great chats open and honest, one of my few friends I could do that with. We shared a love of plants, giving each other cuttings, so I will always feel a connection to her in my garden. My heart of course goes out to her family. Terry, her husband, she idolised, her saviour she once said to me, her beloved children and grandchildren who all meant the world to her.
Thankyou Edith for being a friend, I feel honoured to have known you and shared the times we did. Fondest of love Hayley & family. P.s I hope you are enjoying my rants around Balblair. xxxxxx
18.01.2008 : angela mcpherson wrote Edith was my aunty and she was beautiful, fully of sprit and fun. When I was a kid Edith and my mum Betty spent a lot of time together. In my eyes Edith was my trendy aunty who I thought was beautiful inside out. My mum and Edith were like Laurel and Hardy at times and I will aways remember the fun times we had. Love Angie x
18.01.2008 : eddie keith wrote Saying goodbye is never easy
It's the hardest thing to do
But what hurts even more
Is not the chance to say it to you

Yesterday is just a memory
Our laughter was sunny and bright
Then the clouds they gathered
For you were nowhere in sight

You are still our sister Edith
And this we will never forget
How you left us with no warning
No goodbyes,Our only regret

Bye for now Eddie and Ronnie
19.01.2008 : Trina Markey wrote Edith was my step mum. Edith to me was always someone very special, i can't remember really ever telling her though so i hope she knew. i'll always remember the last conversation i had with Edith because we laughed about it so much and i know in time when i think of her i'll remember it and smile. My Dad and Edith were made for each other, and it was obvious to see by anyone that spent time in their company how much they truly loved each other, if Edith was here now i know one thing she'd say would be to look after your dad and each other. You'll always be very special to me Edith...love and miss you always Trina xxxx
22.01.2008 : Joan Lynch wrote Edith was my best friend and confidante. I could tell her anything and knew that she would listen and give advice when needed. She was so sincere. Michael and I will miss her terribly. She was so caring and thoughtful of others. Even though she and Terry had moved away, we were still very close. Her death was so sudden and a shock to everyone who knew her and it will take a long time for us to come to terms with. They say only the good die young. Well that is certainly true in this instance. We still hear her laughing and see her smiling face. She will always be in our thoughts.

Goodbye, my dear friend. xxx
23.01.2008 : Scott Vetters wrote Edith was my mother in law and was usually an obstacle to me when I wanted to suit myself. Edith had an unbelievable amount of love to give and it showed.Everyone, especially kids, were welcome visitors to the house in migdale and we were all lucky (Terry, Tracy, Trina, Amanda, Dean and Carrie, family and everyone else) to have had someone special in our lives. My big regret (or problem) is that I have never realised what I had before it was gone and things/events happen or occur daily and I miss Edith. I never told her what she meant to me because i never realised until it was too late to say. I/We miss you terribly and thank you Edith for being you.
Love Scott
23.01.2008 : Christine Goetz-Catto wrote ...on New Years day Markus and I went up to the top of Migdale Rock .. it was a dry overcast day with some mist in the Fairy Glen ... when we got to the top we found a spot out of the wind, lit a candle and opened a bottle of Lidl's best Champagne.. and talked about the shock of Edith passing on, and what a loss she is to our lives and our neibhourhood... (I miss her a great deal for many good reasons)..after the bottle, was empty, the plastic cups were drained and the candle had burnt out, I crumpled the t-lite holder and threw it away ...saying softly "Good-bye Edith!"....out across the loch and hills... Markus then shouted "GOOD-BYE EDITH" and gave me the courage to do the same.... I looked up and shouted the same and as i finished two raindrops fell in unison in front of me... like two tears....miss you girl...can't forget all that we had together.... Thanks for those times we had and the honesty we shared... love and a big hug ...Christine x
19.02.2008 : Izzy Mackenzie wrote Edith was my best friend we laughed and cried together. She knew all there was to know about me and I like to think I knew her really well also.There's not a day goes by and I don't think about her, especially when I nearly pass my road end to go for coffee and then remember she's not in. Edith was at my house and I at hers on her last day, she was really happy and full of life, she'd had a nice walk and had commented on how lovely everything was. This is how I remember her now when I'm sad and missing her. I'm going to start a new jigsaw soon, strange feeling knowing she won't be doing it later and if any bits are missing I'll know who to blame! See you later Edith. Luv Izzy XX
02.03.2008 : Trina Markey wrote Thinking of you always, miss and love you loads, Happy mothers day. Love Trina XX
05.03.2008 : Carrie Vetters wrote Hi Mum, sorry I never said anything on Mother's Day, not that I forgot of course, I wouldn't do that. It was a really hard one not having you here and Dad struggled too but we got through it. I kept noticing adverts for CDs and things that you'd have been hinting for if you were here! I guess I'll do that for a while.. Just checking that you're keeping an eye on the soon to be new addition? I'm sure wherever you are you already know about him/her. Feels strange that you're going to be a Nanny again but you won't be here to meet the baby. It scares me to bits to think that I'll not have a clue what I'm doing without some "helpful" guidance, the poor baby won't know if it's coming or going with me! One thing I've found comforting over the past weeks is knowing this Baby has you and Dean keeping an eye out for "it" and you'll keep an eye out for me when I'm struggling (I hope!) It's reassuring to say the least...
I love you Mum, Carrie and the bump xxx
25.05.2008 : marilyn vearling wrote IT HAS BEEN 5 MONTHS SINCE WE LOST YOU EDITH; NOT A DAY HAS PASSED THAT YOU HAVE NOT BEEN IN MY THOUGHTS. MISS YOU LOTS. MAL XX
26.05.2008 : Terry Markey wrote Today is our wedding anniversary. Edith is constantly in my thoughts, but today is somehow different. It reminds me of how much I've lost, but also how lucky I have been to have had such a special person in my life. I sorely miss my little lady.
Edith wasn't just with me all those years, she was part of me, I somehow feel incomplete without her.
I will always love Edith, and its strange but I still feel her love for me, especially around our house and in our garden, she's probably checking that I'm doing things properly.
I don't know if there is such a thing as an afterlife,but if there is I hope my lovely girl knows I am thinking of her, and that I love her as much as ever. I'm not sure if its appropriate, but if you can hear me doll, Happy anniversary, I love you xxxxxx.
08.07.2008 : Alice McCooey wrote I first met Edith when I was around 16 and long before she and my brother Terry got together and looking back I realise that they were destined to be together. She made Terry's life so happy and you knew how much they loved each other without them having to tell you because you felt it and saw it in them. Edith was a loving caring woman and she treated our Mum like her own, Mum has now sadly passed and I'm sure her and Edith are watching us all especially Terry and Carrie with the new arrival due in September. I feel proud you were my sister in law and I miss your smiling face.

Love you Edith

Alice
28.08.2008 : Terry Markey wrote Tomorrow we are going to inter my Ediths ashes. It is not a decision I have taken lightly, but I feel it is the right one.
I think it will be nice to be able to take our grand childeren to their Nana's "grave" and tell them what a wonderful person she was.
It will also be nice to have a special place to go to take flowers, or have a little chat, or tell her my news, or ask her advice, or just sit and think.
I am much stronger now, far stronger than I ever thought possible. I am convinced my Edith has been helping me along this difficult path.
I miss you Edith, wherever the rest of my life takes me, you will allways be in my heart, I will never stop loving you.x x x x x x
17.10.2008 : marilyn vearling wrote Last week would have been your birthday ! it did seem strange not being able to send a card.
also the birth of your new grandchild , you would have been so proud
I also had a good week last week,I took and passed my
GCSE in english, not bad for a 59 year old who has`nt done an exam since 11+. I think you were watching over me!. we used to do our homework together.back in the school days.
love and miss you Mal x
19.12.2008 : tracey markey wrote Well its been a year! I cant believie it. We still miss you loads and loads, its still hard to believe we will not see you again.
