Your Mom was my favorite Aunt and I loved her very much. I am so sorry she has passed on she will be missed greatly. I am comforted knowing that right now she is enjoying an awesome family reunion in Heaven with my Mom ( who passed away 9 years ago tomorrow) and the rest of her family. Love to all my cousins. Darlyne (Fregia) Welling,
