Repose-toi dans la paix de notre dieu miséricordieux, chère Marie.

I have so many memories of my Auntie Rie! I didn't have a sister but I had her daughters to fill that role and I spent so much time at their house. I was always welcome to sleep over and I went camping with them, it was a second home to me. She was my godmother and treated me so special. I remember her giving me pickles for my birthday once since I loved them so much. I love and miss you so much Auntie! So happy you have been reunited with Uncle Frannie!

Love, Terry
