I loved my Aunt. She loved to cook, play Mexican dominoes, go RV'g, do crafts and was always there for her children. I wish I had been able to visit her more, but when I did there was always a place for my husband and I in the downstairs bedroom. I imagine it got a lot of use.
I'll miss you Aunt Lu. Say "hello" to everyone.
