Some of my fondest childhood memories are the many times when Aunt Loretta opened her home to me and let me spend an afternoon with her. I always loved sitting at the kitchen table as she fussed over me and made me feel so welcome and so very loved. The smell of lilacs will always remind me of her.

Love to all,

Karyn (Carol's oldest daughter)
