When I think of all you did for so many of us, laughing and loving til the very end, I can only smile. You were special in a way I'm not sure the proper sequence of words exist. I am a better man for having been touched by your spirit. I promise to love everyday the way you showed us how and smile often, thinking of all our time together. We'll stay strong and honor your memory always. Til we're reunited, dear Aunt, rest well. I love you.
