There are no words that could adequately describe the loss of one of most beautiful people in the world. Auntie. (I’m honored to be the child that chose the name that would be hers alone). Auntie is at the center of almost all of my childhood memories. She took me where she taught school (I got to be a helper) for a day. I helped her correct the children’s homework countless times at the dining room table at Nana & Gammies. It was at that table that she taught me how to make bows from ribbon-wrapping gifts. I was there when Chuck came to pick her up for a date (I believe it was their first) and I was so … Envious. Became a lover of rock and roll listening to the radio in her car. “Wild Horses”. “Put the lime in the coconut”. My first plane trip, when I was 16, was to be god mother to her first child, Sean. I could go on. We texted often these past few years, suggesting shows to watch; keeping up with family news. She will be remembered and dearly missed. More than I can say. God bless Auntie. Everyone that knew her was blessed and made better for knowing her. See you in heaven Auntie!

Words can not express my sympathy with this great loss. “Auntie” was an amazing Aunt. Her voice unlike any other, sweet and caring. The childhood memories of taking me and my sisters to the beach or pond for the day, to having conversations on the phone and listening to her many stories of her life and taking a true interest in mine. Auntie would do anything for you. I will always keep tight her caring nature. My sincerest love to my Uncle Chuck, my cousins Mark and Sean. I will miss her very much
