Aunt Skip at 93

She was my favorite Aunt. I chose her for my Confirmation sponsor. She always had a smile for you and could make a joke about anything. She was so beautiful, inside and out. And she was my Mother's (Wanda Marshall) best friend. I am so glad we had a chance to visit with her on her 93rd BD. As usual she was so classy and loved our picture we had framed for her when she was a bridesmaid for my Mom and Dad's wedding. I will miss her....
