Auntie I am going to miss you so much, you were my road dawg, loved spending time together going out to eat, going to the park, especially going fishing. I miss you so much, especially at 5 oclock on my way home from work I always called you, and some nights we would talk on the phone while we watched the same tv show. Now my 5 oclock is so empty, but I know you are where you belong amoung the angels and watching over us. I love you! See you when it’s my time.
