I will miss Auntie V.

You know,our chats always came around to "her boys". She was so, so proud and full of love for all of you. Her moxie, intelligent energetic joy in life, mesmerizing ability to talk and connect with anyone anywhere, adventures, - stories about adventures... Irrepressible always and irreplaceable now.

We have a picture of my parents' wedding that sits on the sideboard where I see it every day. All look dignified and happy, but your 12 year old mom; she looks like she just put a frog in someone's pocket. She probably did!

Liz and I send our love and respect to all of you.

Cousin Mark
