I love you so very much Aunt Midge but I know that you are at peace now, by Uncle Otis' side. You were always my 2nd mother who cared for me when my father was terminally ill. You were always there for me and tried to make life as fun as possible for a lost and lonely little girl. You always made me laugh, even when I didn't want to. Know that you are always in my heart and that we will meet again! Go with GOD! Love always, Kathleen & Joe

Will always miss you Aunt Midge. You told me to stand up for myself and I have tried, not always in step with others. Your love of sewing and your love of gardening are also my passions. I still want to become a Master Gardener and you have shown that it is never too late to do so! Love you and Uncle Otis. Karen Price
