My daring, adventurous Aunt. I can only remember you with smiles and lots of laughter. You were the "cool" aunt, the one who let us do all the crazy things we weren't supposed to do!! (and were never supposed to tell our parents!!)
The Jersey shore, the Mustang, the VW bug bus, your wedding and most of all getting to be friends. Gardening, wine and cooking, our three shared loves! (With the occasional tequila tastings!!) I will miss you more than I can imagine right now. I will love you always!!
