Gary,Kenny,Peggy and family.
Please know that all of my love is with you now and forever. I loved your mom very much. She was the only Aunt that I could talk to about anything, just like my mom. She was always there for my mother through all the good times and the bad. My mom loved her so much. Like she always said, "they were like twins." And that was true. Their love for each other is endless just like it is for you. Mom loves you like her own children. I will hold on to all the great memories forever. {Christmas} the best ever. "I love you" Kris
