Rest in peace Ma; I'll miss you. Remembering the happier times; making the best Christmas cookies ever.  They had to be perfect. And my favorite you made just for me; at least I  thought so, applesauce spice cake with icing.  I can taste it now!!!!

Aunt Ginny. Godmother. I fondly remember eye-popping Christmas cookies and soothing cups of tea.  In the days when your place was in the home, you rocked it. When you spread your wings, you taught yourself to fly. Miss your laugh...and your whoopie pies.

A gentle sole,Fiercely independent. Who's only thought was for the well being of others. Her piano was her escape from hard times and had given her such joy.  Self taught, She played it with only her ear to teach her. A gift from a higher power. Loved by all who came to know her, She will be truly missed. Rest in peace Ma from Nick

My first thought still is how I miss your laugh! Wish we were all together making new memories instead of remembering the old ones. But grateful for so many good memories.
