To all,
I miss the happy reunions at Grandma and Grandpas'...everyone would bring something to the table to share and I remember that Marie always made the best macaroni salad...each Aunt had their specialty that they would make and I just loved her macaroni salad!! She was always so quiet and smiling and kind...I send my Love to All with prayers, thoughts and wonderful memories. May Gods' Love keep you and hold you close as we say our goodbyes to our wonderful Aunt. She will be greatly missed and yet celebrated in Heaven...what a homecoming! That always gives me such strength and happiness when I miss our family members that have gone before us...the joyous reunion up yonder! I love you all so very much and please know my heart is with you. Marie, please give my Dad a hug when you see him!
With much love,
your niece, Pam C.
