Aunty is in my Earliest memories, i was a regular visitor until i discovered the opposite sex, i was a young child walking around in pink plastic Cinderella high heeled shoes, Debbie was too. Giggles and love. Being 69 many memories have faded, but not too many with Aunty in them. Ashern Barn Dances with my relatives! Aunty and my Mom Olga dancing the polka and the butterfly. Getting three people to join in was not a problem. The Yanke family was quite a fun loving crew. I loved Aunty Esther. and Uncle Art more than words can say, Debby, Cindy, Renny & families I offer you my sincere condolences and loving sympathy. I know Aunty Esther is now with Uncle Art and my Mom and Dad, that knowledge gives me great solace and I hope you get comfort from it too, Together Forever and Always, Love, Karen. - Posted by: Karen McMillan (Niece) on: May 29, 2021
