May you find comfort in your treasured memories of Aunt Vesta. Thinking of you with sympathy.
Thank you Aunt Vestie for showing me how to love - in both your example to me as a child and in the stories that my Mom (your sister) told of your love for her as she was growing up. I know that Steve will miss you here on this earth, but he too will see you again in Heaven someday.
I miss your sweet face and funny jokes. I miss your hits and kisses too. Prayers for family and friends.
Nancy from Alcoa pines
