I don’t know why I thought it was a good idea to review your obituary today but I guess it just made me feel a little closer to you. I miss you more than words could ever express. My heart aches, my chest tightens, my throat lumps, my eyes tear..... and then I think of where you are and how much you desired to be with you Lord and family in heaven. We are all doing good mom! Dad misses you like crazy. But we are doing our best to take care of him until the day you can reunite. We will all be joyous when we can be with you once again!

I love you aunt! The things I remember most about this wonderful lady is her love for God, going to K-mart corporate parties and looking forward to going to her house as a youngster to play and eat bbq. What a blessed life she had surrounded by so many people that loved her. You will be in my heart and memories.
