Aunt- a double blessing. You love like a parent and act like a friend. Aunt Deb, This definition of an aunt describes you perfectly. You were such a big part of my life. You were always involved and there for me. I will miss our chats. Catching up on life and some laughs in between. I will miss your contagious laugh. I miss you terribly. I have peace knowing you're not in pain anymore and I know you're in Heaven with Mamie, Papa and all of your beloved doggies. Give them all kisses from me. Rest in Peace Aunt Deb. I love you ❤️
A sister is a blessing. We always said that. We bought little signs and cards that said it. You are my big sister and I am your "little". You called me that when we were younger. We are different but the same. Because of love and respect for each other. It's a bond that we cherished. It's strange being here without you. It's hard to describe. I'm going to miss your laugh. I loved to hear you laugh. I miss you and it'll never be the same here. You loved our ancestry. You were always looking things up so I am posting this Irish blessing - May the road rise up to meet you, May the wind be always at your back, May the sun shine warm upon your face, the rains fall soft upon your fields, and, until we meet again, God hold you in the palm of His hand. I love you so very much. Rest in Peace. You deserve it 💟 Your loving little, Julie
