Dear Cousins,
Our deepest sympathies for the loss of your Mother, Aunt Ginny to me. A couple of my fondest memories of Aunt Ginny are from my childhood and visits to the cottage. Making sand candles or the ever popular "one for the money, two for the show,..." off of the dock. And who could forget the Uproarious "Eee-gadds" that would erupt whenever Aunt Ginny and her sister (Gwen Hagemann/Fischer) would get together.
She will be missed.
Keep the happy memories of your mother near to celebrate her life.
Sincerely,
Bruce Hagemann Family
