I am so sorry for your loss. Aunt Mary was my favorite aunt. She “almost” always had a smile and her laugh was delightful. The pictures were so wonderful to see. The video was very well done and a good memory lane visit. I remember seeing some of the pictures but it was good to see the others. The pictures show a full and satisfying life.
