    I last saw Ede in December when we had an appointment for me to pick up some enzymes and for her to give me some direction regarding my health issues. I met Alan at that time and I could see the concern in his face. He had to drive her to her office so she could meet me. We spoke on the phone a couple of times and she was very optimistic about the care she was receiving and felt she would be back to giving massages soon. I was shocked to see her obituary. Although we knew each other such a short time, I was touched by her spirit. I liked her a lot.
    With deep sympathy to all that loved her and will miss her, Tamara Galliher

    Hello, I spoke with Ede many times, as I was her account representative for Lidtke Technologies. She was a great inspiration to me and I really appreciated all of the support she gave me. Ede was not only my business associate, but she was truly my friend and I thank god for the time I was able to share with her.

Please share your thoughts ...
