It was a long drive home, but it helped me to reflect on all the wonderful and good times I´ve shared with you. Senior year in high school you could have been doing so much to enjoy your last year. Instead you had me right there with you at every single football and basketball game Clark had. Even taking me with you to take your senior cap and gown pictures. The thought of days going to Penny´s on Claiborne to get our hot sausage sandwiches having our girl talk just warms my heart. I can go on and on about the fond memories I will always cherish with you. So the thought of loosing you so soon never crossed my mind. Neither did the sadness I feel in my heart of not being able to hear your voice or see your beautiful face again. I love you Auntie and will miss you immensely.
