I will always remember with fondness our visits with Aunty Alice and Uncle Howard and playing with Elaine, Duane and then little Christy. My very first sleepovers were at their house and I was treated so kindly and spoiled. Then when we moved to Ontario our yearly visits back home were such a treat to be able to see them all again. I am so sorry to hear of Uncle Howard's passing and truly wish I could be there. Please know that I am there in heart and spirit. With love, Arlene. - Posted by: Arlene Pomrenke (Niece) on: Sep 17, 2014
