Aunt Thee was ALL about LOVE! I was blessed to have been a part of her life all of my life - and received more from her than she got from me. She had some rough spots but like the "EverReady Bunny" she always popped back - always grateful and full of life.
She loved - in no particular order:
Her family - ALL of them. When you were with her she made you feel like you were her "favorite" - what a gift.
Family Reunions: We wouldn't have had them had she not enlisted (bugged) us, (as soon as one was over she'd call me to reserve the space for the next year).
Her husbands (she was widowed twice) and referred to both Art and George as "that rascal".
Her friends- particularly Mary Alameda Cavazza. Hope Eckl who helped care for her the past few months.
Men in "Uniform"
COFFEE, I considered having an IV to directly pump it into her.
Mt.Diablo Rehab Program: All of the staff and clients. She'd go even if she was sick - they'd call me to come get her.
Golf - Her "Hole in One" - so very proud! Camping at Clearlake, going to Santa Cruz with my family. Her cars (particularly the Pontiac).
I want to thank the family for including her in all of their events - not that she would have ever allowed anything else.
I thank my daughter Jennifer for being her loving caretaker for the past few years. I appreciate all the support I got from my daughter Melissa and my sisters (Sharon & Carol) when I decided to bring Aunt Thee home.
