Mrs. Rabeau,
My second home since I was 7, (a long time ago). I will miss all our talks at the kitchen table when I was picking up Donna.

Aunt Shirley,
You have been such a large part of my childhood. The Gellien’s and the Rabeau’s, always at the Buckingham, the one night on the Wildwood Boardwalk each year, the Souga-Mouga fights in your yard, sneaking into Granny’s doll collection! Holy Spirit, church school and or “ugly dogs” Leon and Prinnie. You made the best leg of lamb, had the best laugh and had the biggest heart! I will miss you always!
Love, Leslie

Sending you warm, caring thoughts to wrap around your broken heart to keep it safe until you are strong again. I know you will come through this painful loss and, someday, the pain will ease and the memories will bring comfort and a smile.
Thinking of you,
Karen Gilbreath
