I already miss you so much!! I have so many fun and loving memories of you from my life it is hard to choose favorites. Christmas Eve at your house every year - especially the one when Dad surprised us with a Trip back from Calgary. You knew for so long but you let it be a surprise for Everyone!
I remember visits around the kitchen table at our place on Weston and playing at your house on Kintail(?) Crescent. My favourite Birthday gift ever came from you and we still Listen to my Grease Album. When you told me it was OK that Hank called me Ugly, just call him Ugly back - and it worked! He gave me "that look" but we still do it to this day. When we got cake for Andrew's birthday at that restaurant, Hank said no but you told me to "Bat my eyelashes" at him - and that worked too, we got Cake!
If I have choose a favorite it would be this one: Every time you and Uncle Ugly came to visit us I would pretend to leave with you, and you would always play along but then change your mind right before I got in the car. But that one time you let me get in the car. I thought Hank would just drive around the block, but he didn't, instead he drove home to your house. Then you called my Mom and demanded a ransom - she would only give Hank a Penny though. I helped you serve strawberries and whip cream to Dean, Mike and Hank - but I only gave Ugly ONE strawberry and a tiny bit of whipped cream. He gave me "that look" (I got "that look" a lot form him) - then he grabbed the whipped cream can, but instead of putting the whipped cream on his plate he sprayed it AT ME! Next thing we knew the 3 of us kids and Hank were having a Whip Cream fight and you were not even angry! You just laughed and laughed and actually helped me get him really good! I bet you were cleaning whipped cream off your walls and ceiling for MONTHS after that - but you never complained you just let us have our fun! Then Mom came to get me and Hank said "At this point I'll pay YOU to take her".
Love you so much, miss you already Auntie!
My deepest condolences to all that loved you.
Soar high on your beautiful new wings!
