    The World is a little darker with the passing of my Aunt Betty. I cannot ever remember her without her smile. She was always someone I enjoyed being around by just being in the same room with her. My feelings for My Uncle Bob and my cousins Jeri and Larry( and ther families)is sadness that I cannot be there with them.

    My grandma was one of the greatest people who ever walked this planet. No matter what was happening in her life, or how bad the chips seemed to be down, she always had a smile on her face! She is one of my greatest role models, and the world truely is a darker place now that she is gone. To those who knew her, please keep her memory alive and continue to share all the amazing stories you have about her. I love you grandma, and we will be together again. Save me a slice. ;)
