Howdy!
So on this the 9th anniversary of Aunt Tillie's passing, I came across the attached and thought of how many times she hopped on a bus in NYC and arrived at the Ocean City bus terminal. She did it to visit us at "the farm" as she called it. I remember that some times I was the lucky one to ride along with Mother & Daddy to pick her up at the bus station.
Aunt Tillie brought so much Joy with her and made us feel so special because she was always present when visiting. Sometimes she would regale us with stories of her travels around the country or across the Atlantic Ocean to Europe or Africa. Other times she would be there to listen as we told her about what we were doing in school or so many of our aspirations.
The one thing I remember her saying, at least once whenever she visited was, "Lord Willing". She would say it right before she told us about another one of her plans to do something or go somewhere. Her Faith carried her through her whole Life and we are all the better off for it. Thank you Aunt Tillie for continuing to Bless us so we too can have a positive impact on those we meet along our journeys.
Love,
Joe&y
