    She was a sweet aunt and I always enjoyed her company whenever I saw her. Remembering her is reminding me of our young years whenever we visited Nebraska. She loved her children, Myron, Dwayne, David and Margie and her grandchildren and great grandson. Her family will continue her love from this day forward. I miss her and her love. May she enjoy her forever life up there with our extended family and I wonder what she would say to my dad, Leon. They were close.
