My wonderful Auntie Tootsie! She was the center and the heart of the family. My mother's older sister. The farm where she and my uncle and their 5 children lived was a magical place to me. The house was not just a house, it was an event center! Family and friends were always welcome and something was always going on. As a child I loved to go there because it was in the country, there were lots of cousins to play with and our imaginations could run wild! Auntie Tootsie, AKA Iola Brazelton Weiss was a great cook! The big farm house would be full on Thanksgiving and Christmas with tables in the kitchen, dinning room and the living room all with hungry relatives!
She would do anything for anyone but she would not hesitate to set you straight if you strayed, with love of course! Auntie Tootsie, God bless her, she had a wonderful engaging way of telling a story and that meant she could make a good story better! She was a wonderful person with so much knowledge of life. I love her and miss her at every family gathering.
