She was more than my Aunt, she was like a sister. Only 7 when I was born, we "grew up" together. She introduced me to so many things. When I was 8 and 9, she was a teen-ager. She took me to the beach, scary movies, etc. We played paper-dolls. She taught me to dance, especially the Lindy and the music has always been my favorite. We wrote and performed plays, musicals, which Grandpa found so entertaining and we were delighted with the thought of pleasing him. For many, many years, a week never went by without conversing. I missed her so when Alzheimer's took her from me. I am relieved that finally her soul has been freed. You girls have been wonderful daughters- I love you all.

Many great memories of a wonderful person. I'm sure she and Kaye are having a cup of tea and recalling all the happenings on "the hill".
As we Irish say, "There is another saint in heaven."
