Big Seymour tonight is marks your the beginning of your Yahrzeit and 3 years since you passed away. I cried when I read your obituary here on Legacy.com and called my parents to share it with them. I couldn´t keep my tears back as I read it to them. Please know how much you and cousin Connie are missed and loved and that both of your memories are blessings.
