My Dearest Auntie I'm writing my farewell letter to you in body not spirit to let you know how much you meant to me as an Aunt.  I always felt and thought of you as my second mother. The reasons why occurred over numerous visits you shared with my mother, your sister....Gertie Murray. I've notice how close you were with her based on the number of hours you spent conversating with her, about GOD and family.  The visits were never short and without laughter.  They were with meaning and purpose.  I did not wanted to be seem as disrespectful,,  so I didn't hang around to ease drop on the conversation, quite frequently I would hear GOD'S name  mention.  I would also hear quotes from the Bible and how we were doing as a family.  You've also made countless phone calls to check up on her,  they were made out of concern and love.. The calls help to strengthen the bond you shared with her.  I also notice that it did not matter the time of day or night it was....I can only assume if you sense a need to call you would call her.  I've also notice there were to time limits place on talking with her....You and my mother spent hours and hours talking.  Only true friendship can endure that much time talking on the phone. I've notice how uplifted my mother would be after talking with you.  She felt your love and nothing could alter what my mother felt the entire day after talking with you.  I enjoy our little chats. In all of them you would always remind me why I should never forsaken my family's needs to servive, love your brothers and sisters, never let anything or anyone come before that.  Love your mother and father unconditionally, obay and take care of them.  To this day,  when I speak with any of my brothers and sisters... family is always the focus point of the conversation. Who and what I am today...You had a profound impact on my upbringing.  This is why I see, feel, think and will always see you as my mother (No: 2).  I will miss seeing your face, hearing your voice. I will shed tears when I think of you  recall the talks we shared.  To whom can I now go to  that can talk with me on the adult level  I long to share with in general.. help me make it through day filled with careless thoughts and hurtful acts... I will think of you often..., when I feel and sense your presence I will listen patiently and quietly to hear your voice. In loving memories......             Your Son:  Earl Murray
