Condolences for
Edith K. Krause (Dunlap)

Gary, Kaye and Gwynn,
I always felt welcome at the Krause household. You were our extended family. I can still remember hearing your Dad's hearty laugh on still summer nights just like he was there at our house. It always seemed a joyous household. He and your Mom always made me feel welcome to spend as much time as I wanted at your house - which I did. When we couldn't make the long bike ride to Ken's, Gary and I were the only friends we each had - except for sisters. (not much fun at the time!)
I remember your Mom as a welcoming, generous, friendly, and loving person. She was a second Mother to me, and I miss her. I am glad that she and my Mom had some time together again at Southampton.

I was so sad to hear of your moms passing. She was a great friend to my mom and I have a lot of memories of Edith. I know you will all miss her greatly. She talked fondly of all her children and grandchildren often at the dinner get together in the cafe at Southampton Estates. When I used to come to your house I always remember having Pepperpot soup for lunch, the horse outside getting out and running to the woods, your mom and dad letting you get up at one minute after midnight to open Christmas presents when I had to wait til 8 oclock to get up, riding the bus with Gwynne. Remember how the road used to drift between our houses. We never get that kind of snow anymore. Gwynne and I used to tunnel through the snow and crawl around in there; its a wonder we didn't die in there. I remember your mom catching me smoking in the barn next door. How stupid was that, I have probably only smoked 3 times in my life, and your mom made me tell my mom. I will miss her smiles and chatter as I'm sure all of you will. My mom will fell a vacancy at the dinner table. I am glad they were able to connect after being apart for so long just by coincidence being in the same hall. xoginny

May she rest in peace! I will always cherish the fond memories I have of her kind and loving heart. The love she had for her family showed in everything she did. My thoughts and prayers are with you all!
