I had the pleasure of being Edel's coworker when I first became a school counselor at Bridgewater-Raritan High School in Septemberof 2001. Edel was always the consummate professional. She was kind and helpful and taught me a lot when I first became a counselor. I enjoyed her friendship. One of my favorite memories is when she invited many members of the department to her beach home in Loveladies in Long Beach Island. At the time I had a three-year-old son and identical twin one-year-old sons who came to her house as well with me and my wife and my colleagues. Edel was a gracious host that day, in line with the generous, kind, and friendly person I knew her to be every day I worked with her. I will miss her greatly; however, a part of her still affects students today since some of the positive things I do when interacting with my students I learned from her.
May you rest in peace, Edel.
Love Always,
Steve
