auntie,
I can't believe you are gone. You were the sweetest person in the world. It's seems like just yesterday you were with us (Janice and I) when Daddy died. We love you soo much and will miss you dearly. You leave a huge hole in our family. Love, The Everests

Auntie,
I will miss your smile, your laugh, and the sound of your voice. Although I only saw you a few times, your memory will live on forever in my mind. I'm glad you've found peace at last. Give Daddy a hug for me and Joanne.
