Dear Aunt Hank, I'm sorry, I didn't get the opportunity to say so long until we meet again.... I'm going to really miss our talks... I use to love to hear you talk about your bar 'Hank's Place' and for you to tell me stories about you and my mother.... I still laugh at about those stories today.... (My favorite story was when my father died you use to come and visit and bring my mother different things.... One trip you brought a box of Hot dogs that was not beef hot dogs and my mother looked at you and said Oh, No we don't eat this)... You said you looked at her and said well DAMN WY..... That was so funny..... Well Aunt Hank I know that you are resting well and you are now at peace... I know you talked about going home often, well you are home now.... You take care and tell all that left us behind that I said hello and Love them all much.... When you see my father, grandparents, Aunts and Uncle's tell them I said hello and give them all a kiss for me... Especially my dad..... Aunt Hank I love you and I miss you very much.... Until we meet again Aunt Hank..... My mother Miss and Loves you very much.... She can't get you off her mind....
