I feel I need to share with everyone the good times Aunt Maggie and I had together.
She was a momma to me cause she was there when I needed a momma, I was very little when I lived with her. She couldn't have children of her own because of all her sickness when she was young. She raised me and I will never forget it. I am very proud of her for taking time out to raise me. I love you Aunt Maggie.
We always went downtown on the bus, even if Aunt Maggie didn't buy anything we would still go. We would walk to Grandma & Grandpa Marks house, Gladys Bigelows house.
She would love to brush my hair and curl it in sponge rollers. I remember all the ringlets. She hated it when She had to cut my long pretty hair. I think we both cried.
We all would go on vacation to, Mackinaw Island, the bridge, Wilderness state park camping, Nigara falls. If it was in Michigan or close by we went. There was never a boring day. We would always be going somewhere. Visiting, Church reviavals camp meeting, all the 4 churches that was included with the Holiness Missionary Church, Vacation bible school, Sunday and Wednesday, other churches, went. everywhere..
I wondered away from church when I got older but I came back. I wished I would of never left Aunt Maggies side, cuz when she had dementia she didn't remember me anymore and that was very, very sad. I left crying I knew I would never see the day when she would get better and start remembering me again.
I love and miss her very much and I will always cherish the memories. One memory is after Grandma Marks passed away, Aunt Maggie started sending birthday cards never missed a day. Till she got very ill. and than there was no more in the mail. Very Sad. I am longing for the day to see her in Heaven and then she will remember me, and I will be with all my loved ones.
