Last fall we all lost a dear friend, Rose Corcoran.
That is what inspired sixth grader, Brooke, to write this letter:

                                                              January 30, 2009

Dear Edgewater Food Pantry,
          My name is Brooke. I am a sixth grade student at EVG School. My birthday is January 31. Each year my friend, Mrs. Rose Corcoran, remembered me on that day. Now that she is no longer with us, I wanted to do something to remember her. The Edgewater Food Pantry was something that she felt was very important. Therefore, if everyone could bring in at least one non-perishable food item by Friday, we will be able to make a donation. Many people donate food at holiday time, but forget that people are in need of food all year. If we work together we can help our neighbors here in Edgewater.
          All three sixth grade classes contributed to this donation.

                                                               In Memory of Mrs. Rose Corcoran,
                                                               Brooke
