This is: My Dearest Aunt Dona

She Loved Owls..She collected all kinds of owls. It was easy getting her a gift, just get her some kind of owl and that was the perfect gift for her.
At her funeral I had bought her a little stuffed owl and they placed it inside her casket and she was buried with that owl. it was the last owl I could ever give her on this earth.
I miss her Dearly..every year since I was a little girl, she would always send me a Birthday card. you could count on that card from her.
It wasn't just me she sent a birthday card every year. she did that with all our family.
I was with her when she took her last breath before leaving this earth and joining the family in heaven. I am grateful that I got to spend those last days with her and say good bye. she will forever live in my heart until we are together again in heaven.
