For my beautiful Aunt Neat . . . ❤❤
Thank you so much for taking care of me and letting me live with you when I was little. I became your child, and you never made a difference. I was just one of your kids, and just like the love that you had for Jimmy and Bud, you never made a difference. You LOVED us all, so very much!

I will always LOVE you!!!♥❤
Your niece, Les; (You always called me Lez,...
