Aunt Inez was so much fun, and the stories of her youth are legend in our family. She lived her life honest, what you saw was what you got! And I wish I could have seen more of her, I wish I could tell her that I love her again! I know all her brothers & sisters are happy in Heaven with her arrival, and she will be with her parents again! Untill later Auntie Ines! ( I could never say Inez when I was small, she was Auntie Ines to me!)
