Auntee Maggie when I heard about you leaving and going to your new home, all I could think about was the beautiful black doll you made for my bed when I was a little girl. Then I thought about your smile and how it would warm a room. You were always so kind. Your voice so calming and gentle. Romain and I was sitting and remembering all the good times when coming to your house and coming through the gate, and the good food. Some people pretend but you were always so real. We are glad to have had you be a part of our lives. We will always remember and love you.
