Aunt Bern,
It was always such a pleasure when I got to see you. Though it was not often, your warmth and character is strong enough to make a lasting impression. I remember constantly laughing in your presence from your quick wit, and my appreciation of you for always making me feel welcomed and important when I was young. I am glad that you are surrounded by so many people who love you, but it is not surprising considering the amount of love you gave. Love you!
