I wish I could've known my aunt Tish a bit more... The hand full of times I had met her she treated me as one of her own, she was warm and kind made me feel like family from the moment I met her.. I remember the time we stayed the weekend with her back in 1988 on a trip with my dad Lewis and my brother Tom that was special to me just wish I had more memories of her.
