For my God Mother, Evelyn :
Dear Aunt Ev,
By God, you finally got your wish, on your terms.
Forever glad that Mom and Dad picked you for me. Your strength, and unconditional love for all of us, and for me, was steadfast. You were one of the strongest people I will ever know.
Your love for your family, and for every kid that ever crossed your doorstep was immeasurable, solid and unwavering. You were a workhorse, powerhouse, baker, cook, doer, take charge, organizer, get ‘er done no nonsense gal, and always a giver of love and hugs and support for so many.
One last “Love ya, love ya, love ya”, forever and always. Thanks for a lifetime of love.
