I was so deeply saddened when
I was so deeply saddened when I read in the paper of the passing of Aunt Tootie. I will miss you and your warm smile. You were always such a positive, happy, and pleasant person who loved her family very much. I truly enjoyed listening to your stories and the time spent with you growing up. You often spoke fondly of Uncle Tony and though he passed before I was born, because of you, I feel I did know him. I am proud to have both of your names. Thanks for the lovely memories. You will be missed!
