El,I will never forget going to get hot fudge sundaes with you when visiting in Kenosha. You were just like another aunt to me and I know you were my dad’s favorite cousin! I am so glad we visited at Richard and Sharon’s fiftieth wedding celebration. At last you are at home with all of your family. I am sure they are so happy you are with them now.Judy Iorio Davis and family
