Some people say there is no such thing as a "Sure Thing..." But those people are wrong. Because just as sure as the sun will rise, on March 10th of every single year I would find a Birthday Card in my mailbox with $5.00 in it from Aunt Marie!! I can't help but think how rich she would have been if we had all sent her $5.00 on her birthday every year. A person could not ask for a better Aunt. She had an unwavering love & devotion for God & her family & now she is in Heaven & that is the most "Sure Thing" I know. I wish there were more people on this Earth like her & I hope she gives my Grandma the biggest hug when she sees her!! I will miss you Aunt Marie, very much!
