I would like to thank my cousin Silvia for all the care she has given her mom over all this time. I also want to thank Aunt Phyliss for her dedication to her sister and all of the other caretakers who helped to take care of Aunt Mag.



Aunt Mag was a very special person in my life. I can remember at a very young age visiting the family when they lived in Highland Park. She always made me feel so special. She was the only person in my life that made me feel really "special" until I married Julie. She was such a great aunt to me. I came out by myself and visited her about 30 years ago in Colorado Springs. We had a great time. We talked and shared a lot. I made other trips over the years but that trip was special because we had a lot of timeto visit, just the two of us.



I miss her very much. I will always remember her when I was about 10-12 years old and she let me wear those penny loafers that were to big and they plopped around making a huge noise. I thought I was so cool to be able to wear those shoes. She laughed everytime I mentioned that story to her. I hope she knows how special I felt.



Thank you Mag for the memories and the special times together. You are a sweetheart. I will always remember your smile.



May God bless you while you make Him laugh in Heaven.



We love you Mag.
