Facebook Twitter GoogleI just finished watching the live stream service of Aunt Maribelle’s memorial service and it ignited a flood of wonderful memories of my youth spending time with with Grandpa and Grandma Toney and Aunt’s Maribelle and Vivian during the summer and holidays. Special times like Christmas Eve when all my family and Aunt Maribelle and Aunt Vivian would gather at Grandpa and Grandma Toney’s and Aunt Maribelle and Aunt Vivian would help all the kids write their letters to Santa Claus. And the summers I would spend at both Aunt Maribelle and Aunt Vivian’s homes with them and their families. Thank you Aunt Maribelle for your love and support during my formative years. Tom, Susan and Sara and families, please accept my sincere condolences. God Bless you during this time of grieving. Aunt Maribelle R.I.P. as you go to a better place.
