For Aunt Willa and Those Who Miss Her

Last week, our family suffered a loss. After a month and a half in the hospital fighting for her life, my Aunt Willa left this world to be with her Heavenly Father.

She is terribly missed.

These are the last pictures I have of her. They were taken at our family reunion last fall (which I didn't post, but am very determined to get those pictures of my wonderful family posted here and on my facebook). Family was so very important to Aunt Willa. She was at every event she could attend: birthdays, movie nights, dinners, whatever.

Aunt Helen, Uncle Roger, my mom, Aunt Doris, Uncle Raymond, and Aunt Willa (sitting).
 One with just the siblings:
 My mom and my Aunt Willa were the closest in age and always horsing around ;)
 A couple pics with the spouses. Uncle Ralph and Aunt Doris married into this family before I was even born! I love them.
 Mom and Aunt Willa horsing around again :)
 Finally, everyone smiling and looking at the camera! They're as bad as children!
Aunt Willa with her daughter, Krista, and her granddaughter, Kayla. She loved them so much. Aunt Willa has two granddaughters but Lindsey couldn't make it.

Aunt Willa died on January 30th which also happens to be her birthday. She will be in our hearts and memories forever.
