I'll always have fond memories of the times we spent there with our cousins. Aunt Pal and Uncle Red hosted many drop-bys and there was no limit to the delicious foods they served or the fun and love they showered on us. Prayers help ease the pain and my prayers go out to her family and all my cousins.
