I have only ever known her as Aunt Colleen, not related yet respected, treasured and loved as only someone who is your Aunt receives. Sitting at her kitchen table, her with a coffee and a cigarette, myself with a glass of milk always feeling welcome.
I would like to share one of my favourite memories. Aunt Colleen was walking on the side of the road after picking up her mail, wearing the brightest pair of yellow shorts I had ever seen, and underneath those yellow shorts, she was wearing spice coloured stockings. WOW- what a great pair of legs. I wasn't even a teenager yet and I recognized sexy. I followed her example and wore that particular colour of stockings for years.
I saw the photo of all of us squeezed together in the bed; a wonderful memory- thank you.

My thoughts are with all of you.
