Growing up I always remember having sleep overs at Aunt Sho Sho's house. Timmy and I would run amuck and I remember her never getting upset. I remember her laugh, her smile and always the kiss hello and 'love you' goodbyes from her. I will miss my Aunt Sho Sho very much. I keep replaying in my head the last time I saw her, at Speedway helping me get my cappuchino and introducing me to all the staff that work there, even though she ALWAYS introduced me EVERY time I went there. :) You could see in her eyes just how proud of me she was, as if I was her daughter. I am so proud of my Aunt Sho Sho and her accomplishments with AA. The impact she had on peoples lives, even those who just knew her a year was evident tonight. We all love you. We all will miss you. But do me one thing...Say hello to Nanny for me and tell her I miss her everyday. I wish she could see how well I've turned out.

I gave her the name Aunt Shoo Shoo. She loved her family so much...that was evident. I have very fond memories of her having me sleep over when I was a kid...taking me to 7-11 to buy a treat, and doing my hair (because she didn't have a little girl). I also have a memory of her coming home overserved one night and me asking my other aunt if she would "be like this forever???" LOL Since I had my own children Shoo Shoo passed on that love and caring that she showed me my whole life to them. She loved being with my kids and helped me so much with them. I hope she knew how much that meant to me...I wish I would have told her. It still hasn't sunk in that she won't be coming over to see the kids...or calling to see how they're doing. Aunt Shoo Shoo....I loved you, and the kids loved you so much!! You will be greatly missed. The only comfort I have is knowing how happy you are to see everyone else up there!! Char

I will miss she smiling face and pretty eyes for the rest of my life. For 55 years she gave me much love. I pray that she knew how much she meant to me. She was a sweet child. I will always be truly grateful that she found her way. She left us much too soon. She still had a lot to give us all. she will always be in our hearts. God blees and keep her. Love, Auntie Pat
