My Dear Aunt Margarette

Heaven now has a beautiful person as an angel! My Dear Aunt Margarette passed away this morning. She was 98 years old. She is actually my third cousin...I dont know how all that works. She is my dad's dad's cousin. Make since? Well, we have always called her Aunt Margarette. She was such a special person. Very caring! I loved spending time with her and talking to her about all kinds of things. When we would visit Chicago, we would go and visit her, and Aunt Katy, and Aunt Lena. They are all sisters. Aunt Lena passed away about 7 years ago. The three of them are such a riot. They are part of the reason why I wanted to get married in Chicgao...so they could be there. They are so important to our family. Aunt Katy is my grandma's best friend. She introduced my grandma and grandpa. So, we have always spent time with them whenever we can. When I was little, aunt Margarette and I would wear Bambushgas (sp?). She always reminded me how much I loved the swing when I was a baby. I loved it when we would ocme and visit, she would always cry with excitement. When we lived in California, she would come and visit us. She was an awesome cook too! She lived a long wonderful life. She will be forever missed, but I know that she is up in Heaven looking down on us all. One more guardian angel to look out for us! Aunt Margarette I love you and will miss you forever!
