In loving memory of Aunt Maudie~

My Great Aunt Maudie~ whom I attribute a lot of my love for collecting vintage and beautiful things; and with that comes my pack rat tendancies. I wouldn't give them up for anything!

Like my Grandma(dad's side), Aunt Maudie (mom's side) suffered from alzheimers~ and now they are both at peace and are very much missed.

I'm sorry you lost your aunt, Nikki, but I'm sure she was suffering with the Alzeimers, and now she's in a much better place.

Such a sweet tribute. I loved seeing the photos. The younger one in the post reminds me of you some, but I can't decide which features. My grandmother's twin sister was Maude. I never knew her but always heard such nice stories about her.
