I loved every minute I spent with Aunt Janice, she made my childhood so grand. I will cherish the most, my memories of going to the Stone Harbor every summer, and the time I rode with them, and we drove through the zoo. We fed the animals even though we weren't supposed to, and almost got attacked by the monkeys and spit on by the camel.
We spent every Sunday at Elk Lake, barbecuing, swimming, tubing, skiing, camping, having water gun fights, "snorkelling" for treasure, and building everlasting bonds with the people that mattered most to us.
I'll never forget picnics on the cliff, jumping off the roof in the blizzard of '93, hiding in the trunk at the drive-in, our "two-fer" adventures at Cinemark, tailgating for the super bowl, snowmobiling, horseback riding, mother's day dinners, and Christmas. Yes, so many amazing memories to re-live. How lucky am I!
Through her battle with cancer, I admire her strength, and will to live. There was not one second, that, she didn't give it her all. She fought hard, and she fought fierce. Although her life was taken far to soon, I, myself, am thankful she was sparred from suffering.
Always in my heart, there will be a special place for you. I'm grateful for the time I had with you. Thank you for being part of who I am today. I love you.
