Missing you just as much today as a year ago.

Aunt Isa, I miss you so very much already! I can hear your voice in my head as I type this, and it is so comforting to me. I will miss talking to you on the phone on my way home from work. I will miss your hugs and kisses. I will miss receiving neverending cards from you. I will miss your $1,000 care packages full of potato scones, sausages, black pudding, meat pies and sausage rolls! (what's the Scottish shop going to do without you)? My list of "misses" is endless! I love you so much, and don't know what I will do without you!

Isa, what a beautiful, fun loving, caring, feisty lady. We worked together for more years than I want to admit. We had such good times together. I will miss that annual Christmas card that caught me up on your family. We now have another angel in heaven. Mary Wall, Huntington Beach
