  4. Edith was my Junior High church choir director at the New Rockford Methodist Church, so we go way back as friends! We really got to know each other when she moved to the Heritage House and I was back living in New Rockford. I visited her every Thursday we were in town & we talked on the phone in between. She always enjoyed the walleye Jim brought her each summer!

    I truly loved her and I will miss her so much! 🥰 She was the dearest sweetest friend and so kind. Heaven became a brighter place when she arrived there! 😇

    Our deepest sympathy to the family. 🙏

    Love,
    Judy & Jim Belquist
