    I never thought this day would come. I loved my aunt Cady. I enjoyed sitting with her and listening to her stories about the family. I wished she had written them down. I use to laugh when she would say " oh Trish there is more" My uncle Bill was her life and love. What a rock.. I have so many memories that I will cherish. I truly will miss you. Say hi to the fam.
