She was so special in my life.I grew up knowing that she was there for me and never once did she let me down. My fondest memories of her are our daily conversations over a cup of coffee when I was older and how I had a special Holly Hobbie cup just for me and we'd cherish those times. She was my safe haven, I could look across the street and see the light on when I was alone in the house and know she was a call away if I needed her. She taught me so many things about life, crafting for the holidays,came from her, decorating with a theme I learned from her. I especially loved the Santa trees, and victorian ones, but most of all the goose outside her door, was especially a delight because whatever the holiday "Mother Goose" was up to the holiday. Throughout the loss of my Dad,and grandmother she was there to lend an ear and comfort me with stories of them or cry right along with me. I know the greatest loss had to be Carrie and Uncle Rich(Sorry I was never told about him.) You said to me in a card after I sang at your mother's funeral when you gave me an umbrella, that I was the sunshine on a cloudy day! In truth, you were always the one thing I looked for on every day I was growing up. You were and always will be my Sunshine. I am so sorry Sandy and Gail,My heart broke thinking I . didn't know. I would have been there for you. I love you both like sisters to me, and wtill miss your Mom so much. The light is out across the street and I will miss it most of all. Love always, Elisa
