Remembering my Aunt
Aunt Mary Lou was the greatest storytelling. We all would sit around the table for hours and she would tell us stories about my dad and my uncle Danny. I could listen all night. The last time my sister Theresa and I made a surprise visit we were talking and looking at family pictures that it got so late we ended up staying the night.
I will miss all the great family memories. She will be sorely missed.
