It doesn't seem like 11 years since Aunt Nellie's passing. I know her last years were difficult ad she was not herself, but I'll always remember her nursing our little "boo-boos" by painting them with merthiolate (the orange stuff) to look like a bunny or kitten!

I'm so glad we got to visit Aunt Nellie this spring and Peyton got to meet his great, great aunt. Uncle Jack, you are in our thoughts and prayers.
