Kathleen was my favorite auntie! Woody and Kathleen would bring me everywhere with them! I know it was to babysit the kids, but I felt like one of the family! I remember a trip to Colorado. Jason was just a little bitty baby! I rode in the back seat with him! Man I loved that kid! He was my own baby doll! When they moved to Alexandria, Markie and little Kristi got my love too! I have lots of pictures of us! Such fun memories! Loved you auntie!
May God give you extra strength in the weeks to come.
Your cousin,
Emily Boyer
