I have so many memories of my Aunt Margery and Uncle Lee that I could write a book full of memories. Uncle Lee & Aunt Margery were there for me & my brother's and sister's every day, in one way or another. I remember Aunt Margery taking us to Bible School and Swimming Lessons every summer. I remember freezing in the car coming home from swimming lessons, as Aunt Margery was hot and had the AC on full blast. I remember that I would get scolded by Uncle Lee or Aunt Margery, when I deserved it!! God must have known that Mom and Dad needed the extra help, so he sent them for all of us. I remember how we always got our nicest outfit every Christmas and Birthday, which was for going to Church and Very Special Occasions. She always got us neat stuff, such as jewelry and makeup. As I got older, her and Uncle Lee gave us money but more importantly, they gave me loving advice that I will miss. Uncle Lee and Aunt Margery came to all of our ballgames and school events.
I believe that my sister's and brother's and I were so lucky to have had them in our lives. In so many ways they were our second set of parents. Uncle Lee taught Jim and Sam everything he knew about farming, along with Dad and Grandpa. I do know that they had a hand in helping a lot of friends, neighbors, and family in so many ways. Some of them may have been small and some may have been big. But one thing is for certain, Uncle Lee & Aunt Margery were larger than life and they had a hand in making the world a better place to be in. I know they made my world a better place to live in. I missed Uncle Lee since he left and I will miss Aunt Margery, along with Uncle Cubby, Aunt Helen, Aunt Hazel, Aunt Eileen, and my Grandpa Charlie and Grandma Vida. I am sure they are rejoicing with God and in no more pain. I will not say Good-Bye, as I will be looking for all of you when I get to the Gate of Heaven. Love to you all and See ya Later!
