Notizen zu dieser Person

My Aunt Lois has always been so good to us. I suppose in my teenageyears I did lose some caring for all the adults in my life. I realizedthis at 23 when my Grandmother (Lillian McCord Guhl) passed away. Ilove my Aunt and wonder how much she and my mother may have been thesame. I wonder if my mother sounded like her as Aunt Lois sounds likeNanny! I wish we could have been closer. I feel that now (1996-1997),we are getting closer. We didn't see their family except for Holidays.Bob likes my Aunt and Uncle very much. They did get to visit Arizonaabout 3 years ago. I wish they would come back again.
