Auntie,
You have been my mentor over the years and not only a great aunt but a great friend. I will miss our nightly drive on the phone. You have always giving me great guidance in many life decisions. I will remember our last talks together and cherish every moment.

Some memories I have are:
1.) NO foot prints in the dining room
2.) the gong on the clock (Abigail & Zackary will miss this as well)
3.) "You just smile and say tomorrow is another day"
4.) I never had the courage to tell you with call waiting these days the other party doesn't hear a beep. You would always press a button on your phone and say I will have to call you back in a few minutes I have a beep. That was your way of saying I have to go to the restroom.
5) I will never forget our weekend trip to Virginia Beach and our tunnel experience
6.) I will go have a martini for you and Abigail and I will have a tea party.

We will truly miss you!

Love,
Krissy, Dave, Abigail & Zackary
