It is so hard to put into words what my heart is feeling for the loss of my Aunt.
She had so much love and compassion for her family and friends. I spent many hours with her on the phone before her stroke and missed all those talks about family and of course politics.
She would do anything for anyone. I love you Bev you are forever in my heart.
