Oh what fun we had while I was growing up! Remembering Christmas one year when Paul and I got everyone up at 5am for Santa! You were not pleased but forgiving. Always loved the murals you painted for us on our bedroom walls. They were fantastic! My daughters loved theirs as well. How about the time you came to my house to paint and you and my husband thought we had a ghost! Ahh..the good times. You are now in Gods hands resting peacefully. Loving you always Aunt Hildy.
