I loved my aunt dearly I was glad I was able to talk to her before she passed she was in great spirits and was happy to be back in Milwaukee with her family she will be missed a lot
I only knew Artie for 16 years but we shared a lifetime of memories together, she was greatly missed when she returned home to be with her family but only a couple of days went by & we would chatting. I know longer have that opportunity but I know, one day we will meet again & catch up. Rest in peace my dear friend & save a spot for Victor & I. Until we meet again my plan is for me to stay in contact with your family, your spirit will never leave us. You were more than a friend to us, you were like family !
