Aunt Phyllis,
You were my favorite aunt. You always had good stories to tell and you were always upbeat and happy. It was always fun to visit you. You will always be with me in my heart. Next time we meet, I'll bring the Dunkin Donuts coffee.

"Aunt"Phyllis was not my real aunt, but I was closer to her than I was to my mother. She was kind and wonderful to all people and animals alike. She did not have a mean bone in her body. If the majority of people looked at life like Aunt Phyllis did, we would achieve world peace.
