I am so glad that we were able to go and sing to Aunt Ethel, after the holiday's. She looked at me the 1st time and new that I was Serita's daughter, then the second time she looked at me and called me my nanny's name Thelma. I wanted to cry because I miss nanny so bad, but just to sit and hold Aunt Ethel's hand and sing to her was a true blessing.
Uncle Tommy and Ethel were so good to us. They always were happy to see us and our kids. They both will be truely missed, and I hope as a family we can continue their memories.
I love everyone. Take care.

To Tom, Whit, Wanda and Aunt Sissy
Here is a poem I thought might help in your time of sorrow.

Weep not for me though I am gone into that gentle night.
Grieve if you will, but not for long upon my soul's sweet flight.
I am at peace, my soul's at rest
There is no need for tears.
For with your love I was so blessed.
For all those many years.
There is no pain, I suffer not,
The fear now all is gone.
Put now these things out of your thoughts,
In your memory I live on.
Remember not my fight for breath
Remember not the strife.
Please do not dwell upon my death,
But celebrate my life.

I will be praying for you
Love to all of you
