I ate in a local restaurant the other day and they were all decked out for Christmas. Wreaths, tinsel, ornaments, snoopy figurines... you name it. But what caught my attention was their village with a train set. I remembered Aunt Cyndi had that same set and how I liked to LOOK at it when I came over and NOT touch! Ha! Love you Aunt Cyndi, can't wait to see you in heaven.

Cyndi I miss you everyday! I am taking care of Dennis and Betsy as best I can from Washington. Remember, you have to tell me what Jesus told you -- why you had to have cancer. I'll be looking forward to seeing you and mom & dad and Mike again when it's my time.
Love you sister!!
