Aunt Joan
I hope you knew how much I appreciated all of the times I came to you for advice and you took the time to sit and listen to all of my problems and never judged me.
I still miss the BBQ's at our house in Little Ferry and Macdonals Beach. They were fun times.
Forever in my heart
Love always,
Your niece Linda
