We didn't see much of each other in our adult lives so most of what I remember are family get togethers at Auntie Dots or when your folks came to visit my folks, I can remember a Staten Island visit and Bristol visits. I hope you enjoyed life may you rest in peace and my condolences to your family. We are all on this earth for such a short time I think it's important to commemorate your life.
