Auntie,
Packer games won’t be the same without you. You always had a good word for me no matter what the score was. Now that you have “goal line seats” I will look forward to hearing from you this season. Maybe when I say, “what in the world was he thinking?” you will be able to tell me now. Say “hello” to Vince for me and keep a seat warm ! Will love you always. Everytime we have pasties we will think of you.

What great times sitting at your kitchen table and talking, and you smoking! I loved trying to find out more about my parents, grandpa Condory, and our family history. Now you can ask them all the questions I was asking you! I will miss you. But I won’t miss your cigarettes! You were always an inspiration to me and I love you.
