I will always carry the memories from all of the years growing up with her as my Aunt. I do remember the wonderful meals she liked to cook, the candy she would always make on Christmas and other holidays. I loved helping her make popcorn balls and on Christmas we would string together popcorn and other things to decorate the house and tree. She also never seemed to miss the chance to send out a card on a birthday or Christmas. I spent a lot of time with Josh when he lived with her and Ron and I will always cherish those memories. To Lori, Brad and Perry, I am very sorry for your loss. I have you in my thoughts and prayers
Sorry to hear about the passing of your mom and my aunt. Still have fond memories of her and your dad at the reunion at Liberty Park when I brought our mom down for that and for all the years that I knew them and all of you growing up. Unfortunately all we have now are memories of some great people that enriched all of us. Take care, all my best to all of you and stay strong thru this difficult time. Cary
