So many fond memories of visiting Great Aunt Jane. First as a child with my parents and later as a teen and adult with my young child.
Tex mex food, GG Aunt Edith’s “Pepper dog”, playing with the “cousins” at the lake- was it 4th of July?
We talked about how form creation was all done on line now… she was so interested in progress…
I will always remember her sweetness and kind ways. We love you and are thinking of you!
I know she will be missed, knowing her just briefly was a joy. Bless all of you. Love and sympathy, Louise
