Auntie-Girlfriend, it's been 5 years since your transition. I saw Victor from Y&R yesterday in a commercial and thought of you and smiled (still haven't watched it). I miss your presence and hearing your voice. With all that's going on here on earth, you have the best seat - a place of rest and peace. I truly love you and cherish the memories.

Today I remember my Aunt Maebelle fondly with loving thoughts and wonderful memories. She's still my "Auntie-Girlfriend" and I haven't watched a single episode of "our stories" (soaps) since your transition; that was our special time. Loving you always!!

I called Aunt Mabelle, "Auntie Girlfriend" because back in the day we used to watch "The Young and Restless" and "The Bold & Beautiful" and call and talk about "the stories" (how girlfriends often do). We did this for years until we both lost interest, but that didn't stop me from calling/talking with her about a lot of other things (family, foods she cooked for all our family members, God, church, past family memories, and so much more). Certainly I will miss her and our conversations. Love me some Auntie Girlfriend!
