My aunt Ilene on thanksgiving 2008.
My mom is going to hate that I put this pic on here but my mom was being silly and my aunt much like her old self played along. My mom jokingly grabbed my aunts breast and then as she was pulling her hand away my aunt grabbed her hand as pulled it back and said hey that was kinda nice. My mom turned bright red as you can see but That was the last time I got to see my mom happy what came later was horrific sadness!
All of us on Thanksgiving 2008! You will be missed and I have you know I never realized how stubburn you were.
My beautifull aunt Ilene. What a difference cancer and 2 years can make. I will always remember you as my big breasted aunt ilene with your cigarettes in you flannel pocket and your sense of humor that skipped other family members and stuck to you and mom. You will be greatly missed. Even them damn doggs of yours became stubburn like you did. Some people have the bite marks to prove it. LOL! Love you and save me a spot with in heaven.
As everyone knows my aunt is now with our father in heaven. I just want to take a moment to say I know life gets rough and I know we all have our moment but some times we take life for granted. I am posting a picture of my aunt 2 years ago and a picture of her now. You will see the difference. Don't wait till the last day. Make sure everyone knows you love them today!
