Our deepest sympathies to the family of Edyie Kanouff. We were fortunate to share many, many good times as neighbors and friends. Edyie always put a smile on our face and lifted our spirits. She walked through many of life’s special moments with us. She taught Sunday school to many fortunate kids, and spread God’s word to all she knew. Heaven has a new angel.
