Dear Aunt Lizzie:
You will certainly be missed by the entire family. I shall always remember the stories that you shared about your parents (grandma/granddad). Even your story about how you met Uncle Al on the greyhound bus as you were travelling on the bus from Newport News to NY to Aunt Corinna's house. Now that was a cute story. You were trying to play hard to get, but Uncle Al won you over I am sure with his renowned since of humor. (smile)
I remember so vividly, how I would call you so that mom could speak with you and we would exchange stories about Kobe and Shaq. I remember that the stories were always cute and you were always with them as they traveled with their teams to play basketball. (smile) You would always tell me that you couldn't talk long because one of them was always with you or on the phone line. (smile)
You are an "angel" and I am sure that you will be hanging out with grandma and Aunt Grace.
Our dear love one, you will be missed.
Much Love,
Your Sister Helen Mack and Niece, Regina Mack-Abney
