Dear Aunt Josie, I have told you many times how much I love you, and that you were my roll model growing up. I remember sleeping in your bed and you coming home from a date with Uncle Art. You had your high heels on and such a pretty dress. What a doll you were. Always smiling. You are with Art now as you should be enjoying the glories of heaven. Thank you for all the joy you shared with me when I was a young girl. I will never forget you. Love always, Annette and Don Moellering P.S. Mom told me the story about when I was a baby and did not have any hair, that you had long hair and hung it over my bare scalp and said “look how Annette will look when she gets her hair.”
