CandleAunt Alice will always have a special place in my heart. After my dad passed away a few years ago, she told me many cute little stories from when he was a little guy... and all the mischief he caused his older sisters. We went to the casino and lunch one afternoon with Aunt Dorothy and Uncle Ray - and again we had a few belly chuckles. As we get older we realize what treasures our aunties and uncles are - and how much we miss them when they go on ahead of us.
