We enjoyed your visits to California and our visits to see you in Barrington, Illinois. I will always remember my time as a teenager with you at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado where you taught me to play bridge and all the fun we had together. You've always shared beautiful stories about my parents and grandparents. We miss you and know you will always be with us forever in our hearts. All our love, Aunt Tressa!
Love, Julie & Rodney
