Aunt Jeanette was always special to me as I was growing up... She called me Kimmie Kay and every year at Christmas she gave us each a new board game. She wrote me encouraging letters while I was away at college that included spiritual guidance and wisdom and of course, news about you! (You were in pre-school then and she loved you so much,) She even set me up on a blind date once. She was always so bubbly and happy and I loved to listen to her and my dad sing together. Such a beautiful person! Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May memories be a source of comfort at this time.
