I was the first baby she took care of. I cried in my bathtub when she went to Iowa to get Married. I missed her so much. She took care of me after they got married. I took care of their of their kids after they were born. I would go up north with them in the summer when they went on vacation and watch the kids. I would take Rick Christmas shopping with me when he was small. Auntie brought him to see me after he got out the hospital from having eye surgery at school so I could see him. She watched my kids and grandkids. My Sympathies to the family she was a wonder woman and Mother.
