Each time we loose another family member it is like we loose a piece of ourself and our history.
I’m sorry I won’t be able to be with you as you celebrate Aunt Mabel’s life and memories.
We do have many memories of being children growing up together, family get togethers at your parents home and the uncles at the back of someones car with the trunk open.
You will be in thoughts as Friday passes.
Love your cousin Barbara
