My aunt was a very loving and caring aunt to me and my brothers and sister. After being separated from her and my cousins for approximately 30 to 40 years, she finally found us and ever since that time, 20 or 25 years ago, she always kept up communications with us. We have lost a dear one in our world.
My mom was battle fatigued in life , I know she is reaping all the rewards of her sacrifices now , waiting to receive us when our time here is over too.Her memories are chiseled into our heads and hearts forever. A matriarch in her own rights.Love you and think of you a lot. You are truly missed.
