Sad

On January 5 we lost my Aunt Pat. My aunt and I were a lot alike.  She always said I should have been her daughter! We had a lot in common and spoke and emailed each other frequently.  She had an awesome sense of humor and was someone I could kid around with for a good laugh! I've never had the experience of dealing with an unexpected death.  It still doesn't feel "real". I still want to email her or pick up my phone and give her a call.  She adored Ryan and always took an interest in his life.

I MISS HER SO MUCH!
 Here's a picture of my Aunt Pat and I in 1969. - Notice my parent's plastic covered sofa! HA!
My aunt was very generous to us and left us some of her favorite possessions. Below you will see the Ventless Gel Flame Fireplace that once sat in her living room. I always loved how it looked and now each day I have a part of her in my home.
Above the fireplace I have finally completed our family's "Wall of Fame"! I love how it turned out. I designed the vinyl wording at Uppercase Living. The B&W posters are also vinyl and have a sticky back and can be repositioned - They are from Paper Coterie.


Each day I am reminded of just how fast life can change and how important family is.

My aunt was very generous to us - she left us her car - her car meant so much to her - so, we are honored she entrusted us with it.  Her car will now be Ryan's very first car - which is always something you remember!

 It's a Silver 1996 Nissan Sentra
She'd be so happy to know we are giving it to Ryan.
