thinking of my cousins at this time.it isn't easy to loose a parent.i had many special times at my Aunts house when i was young and staying overnight with Karen.i especially remember how my aunt loved Loretta Lynn and Conway Twitty music,especially Loretta Lynn.she always had her hair so perfectly colored and set and was full of energy and so lively.she was a very good mother to her children and grandchildren and a great aunt to me.she slipped me money one time on my birthday to help me buy a new pair of boot.she was a great daughter to my grandma and grandpa Brown.she was unique and caring.I would love to be at her funeral in Arkansas,but my heart will be there.love you Aunt
