Aunt Pippy’ always had something kind to say and was always positive. She made you feel good about yourself and she was genuinely concerned about how you were getting along. I will deeply miss her smiling face and cheerful view of the world. Even though I was not related to her she seemed like an aunt to me. I love you, ‘Pippy.’
This world
is not conclusion;
A sequel stands
beyond,
invisible, as
music,
But positive, as
sound.
Emily Dickinson
Nothing beautiful
in this world
is ever really lost…
because all
precious things
live on in memory’?
forever.
I am sorry to hear of your loss. Please know that my prayers are with you and your family.
