Aunt Gerry, It's hard to believe that you're gone. Today I had six yellow finches eating at my bird feeder, you didn't have anything to do with that? did you? Ha! It reminded me of the times we sat together on your porch talking about the old times and watching the cardinals and yellow finches nibbling at your bird feeders. The last time we talked you told me that you were so tired but grateful that you had a wonderful life. You are not dead you live in the lives you have touched, and in those lives you live forever. Love Ya! Joe
