Memories were being shared right up until the very moment you were guided to his hands in heaven. Wonderful home cooked meals prepared and shared with all the family gathered together for every holiday, Birthday, wArm summer day or Any chance we could get to enjoy a roast and York Shire Pudding!
Many summer days were spent hanging out together with cousins, grand kids, pets, neighbor friends, (the more the Merrier) learning to swim, ski, fish, golf, paddle boat, jump off the floating swim dock, beach volleyball, Catching frogs, and collecting rocks. I as a child was always eager to pack my over night bag to sleep over at "Auntie's" house, with the purple bedroom ;)

Broken Chain

We little knew that day
God was going to call your name
In life we loved you dearly
In death,we do the same

It broke our hearts to lose you
You did not go alone
for part of us went with you,
the day God called you home

You left us beautiful memories,
your love is still our guide
and though we cannot see you,
you are always at our side

Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same,
but as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again

We love you Auntie!
