Very sad to lose a wonderful aunt, but it is good to know she was surrounded by her loved ones when she passed. Her sense of humor was certainly evident, but it would have been unthinkable to have a husband like Uncle Howard and not have a sense of humor! We will miss her.
Much love to Dave and Robbie and the whole family.

Such sad news. Before she was my aunt, I knew her best at the secretary at Curtis Strange Elementary School – who knew she would become family.
