Aunt Sheryll was there for her brother Donald also, to help me at the end of his life. Without her I would have faced his passing away all alone.
I was beyond thankful for her support and comfort in the loss of my father.
We went for coffee and biscotti in the mornings and had long talks.
After she returned home we wrote lots of letters over the years. I enjoyed and treasured them all.
I had no idea she had passed in September until I had written a Christmas card in December.
Rest in peace with Uncle Leo.
I will love and miss you always,
Brenda Sue ❤
