Aunt Dudie, You will definitely be missed. We’ve been missing you for awhile now. So many memories. Playing dominoes and cards after a luncheon date, silly songs and voices all the time, marathon shopping trips with Mom, seeing Mary Poppins with you at the Avalon where you were the first one to tell me that a ring around the moon meant snow. You probably did it in a Cockney accent since you talked like that for awhile. Missing you is understating it. You and your siblings were our our grown ups. We’re the grown ups now and it’s not the same.
Dear Aunt Dudie, You are most definitely missed. I’ll miss the lunch dates followed by a game a thon of dominoes or cards. I already miss the shopping marathons with Mom. You were the first person to tell me that a halo around the moon meant Snow. It was after we saw Mary Poppins at the Avalon. You loved doing a Cockney accent. You were the last of the siblings. You all were our grown ups but now we are the grownups. Not the same. Enjoy the party up there and give Uncle Ewell a big hug from us.
