Ever since I can remember, whenever I heard people speaking about your mother or I knew I would be seeing her soon...it made me happy. Aunt Joan had a marvelous laugh and a wonderful twinkle in her eyes. She was always ready for anything! Her enthusiasm was contagious. Just being around her made me happy!
These last few years were special ones for me. I loved watching her face light up every time I entered her room and told her that her little brother, George, had come to visit her.
He would sing songs that she had taught him and often she would join in keeping time with her hands. Several times Dad handed her the practice drumming stand and she would tap out a tune. She had the music in her!!!
Your mom and my dad had a special bond...maybe because they were the youngest...or maybe because they were the goofiest:) I know he feels deeply saddened by her passing.
I miss her, too...but know that her memory will always make me smile.
Thank you for sharing her with me.
Love, Sandy
