You first came into my life when you married my uncle. You were 19. I thought you were beautiful. And you were, inside and out. I want to thank you for those years I had living with you in that little house. A little house with too many people in it and too little privacy, but you never seemed to complain. And even though I was just a child, I noticed that. Aunt, I want to thank you. I want to thank you for your sense of humour and for introducing me to Kibbie, Halupki and all those other dishes I couldn't pronounce. I want to thank you for trying to teach me how to spell...what patience! I want to thank you for the sewing lessons you bought me for an eleventh birthday...you were always so optimistic. I want to thank you for Christmas because you always made it fun and exciting. I want to thank you for your zest for life, your fortitude, your graciousness and in the midst of great trauma, your 'Unsinkable Molly Brown' personality. I want to thank you for being part of my life. Linda
