    I will miss my Aunt Nancy so much. So many fond, funny, serious talk memories when I was younger. I learned a lot from my Aunt Nancy. I just saw her 2 weeks ago at a yard sale that I was helping my friend with. We talked for a while, and she was getting tired of standing. So as she was turning to leave I told her that I loved her and she looked at me, smiled, and said I love you to kiddo. Fly high with the Angels, especially my dad, Aunt Theresa, Uncle Wally, my beautiful Grandma, and especially my precious Angel Carissa.
