I'm thinking of my uncle and cousins today as they remember their mother, Lorraine and the lovely impact she had on their lives. I, too, remember her so fondly and am grateful to have had her in my life. Thoughts and prayers are sent to my Uncle Tony, Sharon, Matt, and Sandy today.

It just doesn't seem possible that it is already four years that Aunt Lorraine has left us and gone to heaven. I truly miss her and send prayers to my Uncle Tony, my cousins, and their children.

My thoughts and prayers to my Uncle Tony, cousins, and their families today. I know, for me, the memories of family time don't diminish over time, but those memories are what sustains us and helps us to get through these difficult days. My love to everyone!

I can't believe two years have passed since my aunt passed. She was always so kind to me throughout the years. I remember when there was a flood scare and she knew at the time, that many of my family members were not talking to me, but she called me and asked me if I had a place to go. I will always remember that she was the only family member that reached out to me at that time. It proved to me what an unconditional loving and caring person she was and that no matter what anyone thought, she truly knew and cared about me. My thoughts and prayers go out to my uncle, cousins, and their families as I recall their fond memories together.
