I always appreciated her love and sincerity. She always remembered me no matter where I was stationed and always sent me a birthday card. That may seem small but it was huge for me. Rest In Peace dear Aunt and know that you are loved and will be remembered with gratitude and love.
Your Niece,
Wendy Jarvis
