Aunt Babe,

  I have so many wonderful and loving memories of you that stay deep in my heart. I would like to share my earliest one. I was about 3, and you and Uncle Tryg were babysitting Gerry and I at your house. We made candy from a toy candy maker you bought us. I believe it was called Mr. Goobler. We were all laughing and having fun. I still remember the taste of the candy. It was chewy almost like gummy candy. We felt so loved.I remember how special I felt. Even after we moved to Connecticut and we would come down to visit and stay at Grandmom, and Grandpop Sweeney's you always came to see us. Every visit and every day we were there. Sometimes you would even be there waiting knowing we would be there soon. All the love, all the laughs we all shared is one of the biggest tressures in my heart that I cherrish and hold until eternity. I love you Aunt Babe. Your niece, Kimmy.
