In loving memory of

Coletta Anzalone Edison

Ramstein, Germany), Sara Rubenstein (San Francisco, CA), Jerome Edison (Arizona State University), Coletta Edison (San Jose State University), Chris and Joe Edison (Bali, Indonesia), Beau Edison (Tokyo, Japan), Abe and Samuel Edison (Tulsa, OK); her father, Jerome Anzalone (Phoenix, AZ); and her sister, Sara.

"I'm by no means a close friend to the family, I only know Jerome through a job we both worked at Pei Wei on 7th Street and Glendale in high school. However, I understand the pain of losing a loved one and want to offer my condolences to Jerome and the rest of his family and friends. I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you all. May she Rest In Peace."
