When we lose someone we loved, it seems that time stands still... We were so blessed to have an aunt who gave us memories too beautiful to forget. Love and prayers,

My personal experiences with my aunt & her family are filled with pleasurable memories that, although perhaps too long ago, still hold a place dear in my heart and always will. I remember the fun at the lake way back when and the visit my mom, Yvonne, that we had with her in Berlin and how I can still see her bright smile.
I trust the Lord will take good care of her.
