Aunt Elizabeth could always perk Daddy up whenever she faithfully called to speak with him those last years of his life. Maybe that's what being a little sister was all about. Maybe they're having a good old time right now.

Aggie and family, I so enjoyed my visits with your Mom...always a hug and a smile. Often she would tell stories about people that we both knew in Orwell or at least I knew of their families. Loved the fact that she like to look after the "old folks "...she will be missed. Cherish the memories.
