Aunt Esther

Every time that we went down to St. Louis, we'd make sure to stop by my great-Aunt Esther's to visit, and she'd make sure to have candy (and usually other treats) for the kids. Anytime we were on our way to her apartment, Miles or Brooke would ask, "Will Auntie have candy for us?"

We were thankful to be able to see Auntie one last time before she passed away last week. We're going to miss her immensely but are so thankful that she's no longer in pain and is in a better place.  

(She hated having her picture taken so she'd probably be mad at me for posting this. I'm thankful that I have these memories on record for my kids, though.)
