Marilyn was the coolest aunt. Her and I would go thriftstoring and build things. I always loved that if she got mad at something she would just laugh. May she be in Heaven now with the others that left before her 🙏

Mim! She was such a special warm hearted woman. Always doing and giving her whole life. Never turning anyone away. She was caring, loved to give. Whether it's an old lamp from 1976 or a quilt she would make. She truly enjoyed crafts sewing and collecting. Remembering sitting around the kitchen table, talking and laughing about the years that pasted. I truly missed those days with her. I'll never forget you Mim. You meant more to me than you'll ever know.
