Dear Aunt Nancy...I like to think about the times when I would come to Rochester and we would all sit around and remember all the things that we used to do when we lived on Copeland st. Remembering the saturday baths, knocking on the wall,so many silly things that was so much a part of our families. We would all laugh so hard. So many beautiful memories. Even though thru the years we lived so far apart you were always in our thoughts. The only regret i have is that loretta and i couldn't be there to say our good byes, but i,m sure you know you were in our hearts and prayers.
Aunt Nan, Fly with the angels Mom has a special place waiting for you.
Love you, your Texas nieces Diane and Loretta
