I have so many good memories of Aunt Anna. I remember when I was a kid how we used to go over your house and swim and hang out while everyone was working, and we would tear the house up. And when Uncle Andy and Aunt Anna got home nobody knew anything. I remember the pig roast every labor day down Wildwood Aunt Anna and Uncle Andy would let me stay with them for the week. I remember how luck Aunt Anna was at winning things on the boardwalk games and one year Aunt Anna told me she was going to win me a guitar because I wanted one. I remember eating the traditional mushroom soup on Christmas Eve every year, year in year out and all the laughter that went with it. I remember Easter Sunday every year when the whole family would get together all dressed up. I remember the traditions that were held so dear to everyone. I remember how you used to say "God will get you for that" because you resembled Bea Arthur of the TV show Maude. And you sounded just like her. I remember all the baking during the holidays. I remember the Saturday cook outs during the summer months making bacon bread. I also remember all the sad times you went through. I remember the family just being family. As long as I have these memories, you will always live in my heart. I know you are at peace now.
With Love,
Your Nephew Jeffrey
