I have a lot of fond memories of "Aunt Lenora". I still have the macaroni cross that we made in CCD class at St. Dennis church and everytime I look at it, I always thought of her. Even now, I live just 2 houses down from her old house on Engle St. I always tell my children as we drive down the hill...that's "Aunt Lenora's" house.
I am so sorry for your loss. All we have now is Sophie.
