I am so sorry to hear of Aunt Darlene´s passing. One of my favorite memories of Aunt Darlene and Uncle Eddie happened in Wendover. We had gone to the all you can eat prime rib buffet. We had filled our plates and were sitting at the table talking and eating. Uncle Eddie decided that was the "prime" time to put a baggie on his hand and reach under Aunt Darlene´s arm to grab her prime rib and take it home for leftovers. Since she wasn´t expecting it, she let out a blood curdling scream. Everyone in the restaurant stopped talking and looked over to our table. We all started laughing and people stopped staring. We had a great time "ribbing " them after that
