You we’re always such a great funny aunt who always love to shop and have family gatherings, it’s always been a pleasure to come down to visit you and share memories with. P.S I’ll never forget our trip to Mass, when you and mom fried my first phone with your bucket of ice. Didn’t matter what time we arrived at your place you always had food ready. Even at 1am. Rest in peace ️️.

I will miss her deeply, my condolences to all her family and friends, may she finally be at peace with our Lord. I love you Terry love Autumn
