Aunt Neen: In 10 days, you will be gone for one year. I still can't believe it. Not a day goes by that you're not in my thoughts and my heart. You were the best aunt and I miss you more each day. I talk to you everyday and know that you hear me. I hope that you're with Uncle Bill and you're happy!! Love you always, Me.

Hey Aunt Neen: Just wanted to wish you an early Happy Birthday! "Did you get my card?" I love you and miss you and not a day goes by that I don't think of you. Mom and I talk about you often-sometimes we cry, but most of the time we laugh! Things are going much better than they were because I know it was you watching over me from above. Love you!!

Aunt Neen: Life hasn't been the same since you've been gone. I still have your phone number in my cell phone. I so miss our talks and all the great advice you gave me. You were, and always will be, the BEST aunt in the world and I miss you every minute of everyday. Please watch over me as I go through this difficult time in my life. Love you always, Me
