In Loving Memory of My Auntie
As a child, I can still recall my hesitation sitting next to Tinker on the rides to school. Even then, I admired my Auntie´s fearless and determined spirit. With time, I grew to deeply appreciate her wisdom-teaching me to let go of life´s small worries and to find joy in the simple moments.
Her carefree nature, love for animals, gifted green thumb, and generous heart left an indelible mark on my life. I will always admire her strength. I am forever grateful for the lessons she shared and the love and care she gave to us so freely in her lifetime. She planted her wonderful legacy here on earth - in our lives, and through the many flowers and fruits that still thrive til this day.
Her spirit will remain with me always, carried in my heart until we meet again. I love you so much Auntie.
