Thining of you and your mom
Even though I never met your mom face to face, I always felt I knew her through your eyes.
You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Aunt Vi Cornelius
Aunt Vi…what a lovely woman. She will be greatly missed by everyone. She was a generous person who went out of her way to make people happy. When we visited one year, she found out that my husband, her nephew Dwight, was diagnosed diabetic…so she baked him a sugar-free lemon meringue pie!! Dwight was very touched. Now she is reunited with family and will have many memories to share. I love you Aunt Vi. Our prayers are with the family.
