    I found a photo of you with my parents' keepsakes and you are at a park somewhere in your bathing suit. It brings back all the memories I have of you and me in Pymatuning Lake until late into the evening while others were huddled around the campfire. You will always have a special place in my heart and my memories of you are all blessings. Rest in Peace. Your Loving Niece Lizzy

    Dear Aunt Ann: I know Uncle Jerry was waiting for you on the 'People Rainbow Bridge' and hope there is comfort for surviving Family ... just knowing you two are together now. I remember hearing the stories of how you took on the "care-taking" responsibilities of your family, when your Mother passed. Knowing your love and care presented much needed stability with such a large Family. Everyone will miss your memorable and infectious laugh... and your huge Smile... I can still hear you laughing...and expect that You and Uncle Jerry are having much Joy together now...
