Aunt Sharon,
My fondest memories of you will always be of the holidays spent in Lacona. The Christmases with your family were some of the best.
I wish that tradition could have carried on into our adult years, and that our families could have remained close. Alas, people change and move apart, but I will choose to remember you in the good times.
My prayers are with your family as they grieve your passing and that one day we will all be reunited in the holiness of God's light.
