Too many great memories to mention them all! Some that come to mind are the summers we all spent together at Higgins Lake, family gatherings on the Holidays and swimming in the Bay. Aunt Dorothy made the best Lemon Meringue Pie.
Too all my cousins....I'm so sorry to hear of her passing. Her Faith was strong and I'm sure she is with her Husband as I write this.
