To my dear Auntie, my traveling buddy, my friend. Growing up with you in my life was so much fun. You helped shape the person that I have become and I thank you for that. I am going to miss you terribly, but am grateful for all of the wonderful memories that you have left with me. You will be in my heart always. I Love you.
