There is so much to say. You were not only my aunt, but a surrogate mother after my own mom and your sister passed. I will always cherish our talks. I thank you for nurturing me in so many ways, but most of all thank you for loving me. I rejoice knowing you are with all our loved ones in Heaven. At the same time, my heart breaks for those of us that are left behind we look forward to the day when we see you again. Tell all those in Heaven we lovw them with all our hearts. All my love, Tara
