Aunt Wilda, You will be missed, Love Chickie

My Aunt Wilda and Uncle Jack were wonderful, beyond exceptional and monumental people both in society and in my life growing up. They lived, grew and prospered in a better and exciting time era when everything had quality, meaning and value.
As is Uncle Jack, Aunt Wlda you will be very much missed and always appreciated by me. You were always the sweetest, hardest working woman I've ever known. You and Uncle Jack, over time, have instilled your work ethics and overall outlook on life into me without even knowing it and I have been blessed to have been awarded those earlier years and experiences with you.
Perhaps now you can truly rest in peace, with Uncle Jack, away from all of this unnecessary and ridiculous animosity, dishonesty and chaos that unfortunately is our world/society/people today.
