My mom was a teenager when she met Appy. Mom use to go and hang out over at Appy's and they became very good friends. She was always there for my mom all throughout the years. I always thought of her as my "aunt". After my own mom passed away, she was always someone I went to when I needed another sounding board. I also went and played crib with her some Sundays. I will miss the stories she told me of my mom and her, also I will miss picking up the phone and just chatting about this and that. Thank you for always being there for me, Aunty Appy. I will always love and miss you. R.I.P.

Appy, Thank you for accepting me into your wonderful, crazy family. It was sure a small world when I found out that you worked with a former Aunt of mind at Wyser lock. Thank you also for your support when Dawn and I first got together. We made it past 5 years!!! I will miss you and I will treasure the memories of having you in my life these last 20 years. Rest in Peace.
