    Auntie, you were always soo kind to my brother and I. Always offering us food, a game, or a dip in the pool. Your voice is one I’ll never forget. A smooth type of rasp that always seemed to bring a smile. Thank you for keeping my grandmother company and always giving her a ring while she was here. I know the reunion of you and the family is going to be grand! Thank you for all of the great memories and love! Rest well. ❤️🙏🏿
