Last Christmas season my son and I were able to meet Aunt Lorine for the first time. I'm so happy - we had a wonderful time at her house. My mom always talked so great about her - I know they are up in Heaven now, just chatting away. I wish we could have come to her memorial service - but she will always be in our thoughts and prayers.
