Our Aunt Locher, so named by our baby sister 50 some years ago. How warm, wonderful and always welcoming. We grew up in a real neighborhood where we all became family. So many GREAT memories and now we have lost my hero. I always said "when I grow up, I want to be just like you". Rest in Peace with our Uncle Locher. God Bless John and Suzie and their families. XOXO from All the Vincent's
