Always a $5 dollar bill and a Silver Dollar for all my birthdays. How long ago that was 50, 60 years? When I received my Godmother Nanny's cards I knew I was in the money. She has always been in my memories and always will be. Love, Tommy

I loved her and always knew she loved me back. What a loving soul. She was my roll model for acting like a lady and she taught me to wish happy birthday to people as she never forgot mine. Once she handed me a handkerchief with her perfume sprayed on it because I always loved the way she smelled. Her sweetness will be thought of and missed always.

When I first married Michael he introduced me to his beautiful Aunt Helen. She was so kind and thoughtful. Aunt Helen never forgot our birthdays or our anniversary. It was a joy to have known her. She will be missed.
