ANASTASIA (NETTIE) BENZELOCK I Remember I remember Aunt Nettie when I was a child She treated us with candies and that warm, gentle smile I would visit Aunt Nettie when she worked at The Bay Where she made me feel special in her loving way. When I remember Aunt Nettie and I think of her life She was like a mom to her sisters and then a caring wife. She was a devoted mom and proud of her sons And then a wonderful grandma to her precious grandsons. Perogies, pyroshke and delicious meals she would make Selfless and lovingly even when her hands would ache. And in the end she called God from above And now leaves in our hearts her everloving love. As we all do in life she tried her best And now Aunt Nettie is peacefully at rest. To join the loved ones who left her behind Where we will see her again when it is our time. - Cindy Malbranck
