Aunt Bev was my childhood hero. We did not have a car and she would pick me up to spend days with Nancy and Karen and go to the lake to stay , she always made me feel special. She was a beautiful woman and I always admired her hairdos and clothes as a child I was impressed.

You will always be my dear match maker. 38 years ago you carefully orchestrated a meeting so I could meet your daughter Nancy. You would become the best Mother-in-law that I could hope for. You were always there when I asked for motherly advise.
