I remember the first few Christmas's with Aunt Jane and the whole family. Jim and I always got a nice tree ornament with different birds 35 years ago. We still have all the ornaments and I think of her everytime I decorate the tree each Christmas. She gave me a really nice wedding shower before I married Jim. Aunt Jane was always fun to be around and made me feel part of the family right from the beginning. We have many fond memories of her. May she rest in peace in heaven with the rest of her family.
