May was my aunt, she and her twin sister were only 3 years older than I and we did not really have a aunts/nephew type relationship, since I had no brothers or sisters it was more like a sisters/brother relationship. And when the girls brought their husbands into the family they took me under their wings and treated me like a younger brother. I had a closer relationship with May and Andy than with my own mother and father. I loved May and have missed visiting with her for several years since she got sick and did not want people to come see her and had trouble talking on the phone.
Aunt May will be missed but we know she is no longer in pain. Thinking of Uncle Andy, Linda and Andrew and sending our sympathies and love to the family. Ed & Karla
