Mother loved people and she enjoyed sending greeting cards to her many friends and relatives and the grandchildren and great grandchildren.

My Aunt Ann was a very special lady. And I loved her so very much. It is so true about the cards, my Mother never had an occasion pass that she did not receive a card from Aunt Ann. Her daughter Ann has really kept up the tradition for her Mom.
Rest in Peace my Sweet Aunt. YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
