Dear Aunt Colleen,
You will be missed dearly. I remember Patsy and you would take me to the ballet, on carriage rides, and historical site seeing. I loved every moment I spent with you. Playing our tic tac toe game was my all time favorite. I knew when I came over, where it was stored and you always kept it in the cabinet for us to play. Even as I got older it didnt matter, I would go right to it. Thank you for all the wonderful memories, I will cherish them forever. We will always remember you telling me to be careful on the stairs. I love those stairs, it is sad to know i will never hear your voice saying that from the kitchen to my siblings and me. I also loved hearing the laughter from the other room when our family would visit. It was contiguous. Send my love to Patsy and Toddy. I love you.
