My prayers and thoughts are definitely with the family, friends and loved ones. I got a chance to be a part of the track team at Dowling and Madison. Coach Edison was such an inspiration and thought us confidence and never to give up or quit. I loved that lady more than I can even express.
I remember when I ran track at Dowling Middle School… Coach Edison made us run from Dowling to Madison High School as our warm up. She would drive her car behind us, yelling at us the entire way. Back then it seemed so mean. But as I got older I realized how hard she pushed us to never give up on ourselves. As tough as she was on us though, was a great coach. She taught and trained with love, and she instilled so many great things in so many people. I’ve spoken about her so many times over the years to my kids about how she coached us with love. I’m so glad I got to experience those moments with her. She was such a beautiful light in this dark and ugly world. May she rest in eternal peace. Sending my heartfelt condolences to her family during this difficult time.
