I have many wonderful memories of my aunt thru the years. When I was young, I looked forward to going to my Aunt & Uncle's home where I was able to see the rabbits. As I got older, she was always there at the highlights or traumas of my life. At my home wedding, she was there helping my mom with all the food, dishes and clean-up. When my son was born, she was here for his baptism. When my dad died, she came from Colorado to be with us. Even tho we were miles apart in recent years, my mom & I have always felt close to her. We will all miss her very much.
Niece (Nancy), Sister (Agnes), George & Eric
