Gilmanton, where she was welcomed with warm and loving arms. She enjoyed the simple things in life, flowers, birds, fishing, and most of all her close friend, Jessica, who would have lunch with her everyday. She was a child of the earth who never wore a frown and always had good words. Her little laugh and smile will be missed by many. We miss you and love you, Aunty.
