How I remember the times we had! I remember sitting under the dryer trying to come up with the first line of the "All In the Family" theme song, the times my mother, you and I went horseback riding, and you trying to teach me how to drive your beige VW Beetle at the lake. Ma was yelling and I was knocking down little trees and you were laughing so hard. I loved it all and I want you remembered for your feistiness. Bon Voyage, my dear aunt. I will miss you so.
