I will greatly miss my Aunt Aggie. She helped me get to where I needed to go before I could drive so that I could pursue my nursing career. After that when she had her multiple ear surgeries, I was more than greatful to help her take care of her incisions.. She was one of the kindest people I knew. RIP, you are now with your heavenly family! Until we meet again....!
