Aunt Leola was important in my life from early on; by taking we cousins to Duck Lake in the convertible the summer when our Mom was back @ school getting a degree,; to babysitting the 3 oldest boys at the River St. house where they almost broke the couch by rocking on it and sucking their thumbs; watching Aunt Leola polish her nails RED before going out w/ Uncle Ed; giving Robin a bath in the cool aqua slanted sink ;Uncle Ed calling me a little monkey on the swingset ;then the Mears Ave. house and the POOL and the player piano where we all had lots of fun; then visits to Fla. to see Mom & Leola ;going to the pool, the beach, out for lunch and events and introducing me to BELL'S outlet ...oh the great swimsuits I bought there over the years! And finally some recent phone calls to reminisce all those good times!! I will miss her terribly, but I have the Hain cousins to cherish for a long time!
I love you all,
cousin Lauree
