My favorite memory of my Aunt is being penpals. I had learned about how the U.S. Postal system works in school. I was stoked after learning how to write and send letters. As a kid, the idea of receiving mail with my name on it excited me. I told everyone I knew that I can write letters now. My Aunt Annie suggested we become penpals. After sending a letter, I waited with eager anticipation to receive one back from Springfield.
Her address and phone number are still stamped in my head today (I didnt use them as often as I should have in later years). As an adult, I knew a birthday card would be in the mail like clockwork. I like to think that I was her favorite nephew, but she loved us all equally. My prayers are with my cousins and their children. May God give you comfort knowing she is in his arms, as she was a humble servant. I love you always, Aunt Annie.
