RIP Aunt Skeets. You will be missed but never forgotten.
So very sorry for the loss of your wife/mother/sister. She will always be remembered as “Skeeter” by her former 31st Street neighbors, the Schlick family.
My thoughts and prayers are with Pam and the family.
Heaven’s gain!
Many many prayers to her family and friends ❤️
