My sweet Auntie was like a second Mother to me. She was always there for me and I will miss her so much. She went to Heaven on Christmas Eve, just like her brother, LaVerne, did exactly 67 years ago in the Battle of the Bulge. She has so many loved ones waiting for her in Heaven and there will be rejoicing all around God's table. She was a wonderful, kind woman. Our memories of her will always be precious, especially to those of us who loved her so deeply.
Niece, Jeanne (Nelson) Maycroft
