Heaven is getting crowded...
Edith was Jim's step-mother and a really wonderful woman. She made the best comfort food I ever tasted - simple things like baked potatoes, steak, desserts. Here's her recipe for M&M Cookies which were a favortie of everyone who tasted them:
M&M'S® COOKIES
1 c. butter flavored Crisco
1 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. white sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
2 1/4 c. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 lb. pkg. M&M'S® (crush 1 c.)
Blend shortening and sugars. Beat in vanilla and eggs. Sift dry ingredients. Add to sugar and eggs. Stir in crushed M&M'S®. Drop by rounded teaspoon onto greased cookie sheet. Decorate with remaining M&M'S® (thee each cookie). Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Remove from cookie sheet and cool on rack. Makes about 4 dozen cookies.
Edith was 90 years old and had been in a nursing home in Lebanon, PA since Jim's dad died 2 years ago. Funeral is coming up this Saturday. Keep the family in your prayers
Take care,
Lel

My sympathy to Jim and the rest of the Gilmour family. I don't know if I can get to the Saturday wake and funeral, but I will make it a point to make some M & M cookies in Edith's honor. I remember her being a very sweet lady.
Sorry to Jim and the family. We'll say a prayer for her.
