I'm going to miss you aunt Carol... Our shared interest in our family tree, talking about the past. How things used to be when we all were younger and times were simple and easy. I will miss these chats and your sense of humor. ~ 'Silently, one by one, in the infinite meadows of heaven,Blossomed the lovely stars, the forget-me-nots of the angels.'~
