My great aunt was a firecracker with an infectious smile and laugh. She made those around her smile and feel loved. Though she will be missed terribly here on earth, God has decided her work here on earth is done and he needed her much more than we did. I know that we will all miss her, but she has reunited with her family for which she had a great deal of love and adoration for. I know positively that my grandmother is tickled to have her back with her! Together they were a force to be reckoned with!
