Ok so my favorite memory of Aunt Carolyn was when we had a picnic at George Wyth State Park. We needed something from the store so I tagged along. I must have been 6 or 7. I remember asking you why boys could run around without shirts but girls couldn't. I don't even remember the answer you gave me just the shocked/perplexed look on your face as you tried to answer without going into much detail. That's what I remember because I felt so comfortable around you I could ask you anything. Love you and will miss you.
