Aunt Effie lived a good life and was good to every one she met. She will always be remembered for the beautiful flowers she grew and how she loved to give them to people and put them in the church. Mother always told us that Aunt Effie was good to her and was always there when she needed her. She was a special Aunt and loved by all.
AUNT EFFIE WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED BY MY FAMILY AS A VERY KIND AND GENTLE PERSON WHO ALWAYS HAD A SMILE FOR YOU. SHE WAS THERE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY, ESPECIALLY AT THE DEATH OF MY FATHER AND MOTHER. I’LL ALWAYS REMEMBER HOW SHE ‘MARKED’ MY SON NICHOLAS BY FIXING HER GREAT CHICKEN POT PIE FOR MY MOTHER’S WAKE..IT WILL ALWAYS BE HIS FAVORITE FOOD. MAY GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY AND WE’LL MISS YOU. YOUR ‘HEAVENLY’ RECIPES WILL BE SERVED IN HEAVEN FOR SURE.
