Dear Sylvia,
Thank-You for being my cousin.
Cousins are like best friends with whom you share the happiest times. I remember the family events we were at together: Christmas night sleigh rides with the horse bells ringing, amazing family suppers at the farms with chiffon cake, especially poppy seed chiffon, Spedden hall suppers, Boyne Lake hall lunches, family weddings, showing me how to drive a stick shift truck, our talks, wonderful pictures of the grandchildren, suppers in Edmonton, and your amazing hugs.
Your wonderful sense of humor, and always positive attitude were a blessing, your happiness lit up a room. Even though we didn’t see each other often, I will always have the memories of your laughter in my heart.
Love Always
Eileen
