DEAR AUNT SHEILA,
GROWING UP, I ALWAYS THOUGHT YOU LOOKED JUST LIKE JACKIE KENNEDY WITH YOUR BEAUTIFUL DARK BROWN HAIR, AND YOUR POISED RESERVED PERSONALITY.
I WISH I COULD HAVE WITNESSED YOUR BEAUTIFUL REUNION WITH YOUR 'BOYFRIEND', UNCLE CONNIE OF COURSE!
YOU NEVER COMPLAINED ABOUT YOUR CONSTANT DUTY OF BEING UNCLE CONNIE'S EYES. "SHEIL, COME HERE." THE EVER READY BATTERY WHO ALWAYS FOUND A PROJECT AROUND THE HOUSE. UNFORTUNATELY, YOU WERE HIS 24 HOUR DEVOTED ASSISTANT. I DON'T KNOW IF PEOPLE REALIZE THE CONSTANT LOVING DEDICATION THAT YOU DOTED ON MY UNCLE.
I CRY NOW REMEMBERING SAYING TO YOU, "YOU CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE, CAN YOU?" YOUR EYES FILLED UP, BUT YOU NEVER SAID A WORD. I UNDERSTOOD WHEN YOU INVITED ME INTO DR. ERIKSON'S OFFICE WITH YOU THAT YOU TRUSTED ME AND I BECAME YOUR ADVOCATE. YOU WERE TIRED AND NEEDED MUCH PEACE.
I WAS SO RELIEVED WHEN DIANE & GERRY CAME THROUGH BY PROVIDING YOU AND UNCLE CONNIE BOTH A SAFE AND LOVING ENVIRONMENT. IN FACT, DIANE CREATED A PAMPERED QUEEN. YOU FOUND PEACE AND DIDN'T HAVE TO CARRY THE BURDEN OF CONSTANT WORRYING ABOUT THE FUTURE.
AUNT SHEILA, I FEEL BLESSED HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME CLOSE TO YOU BY TRYING TO MAKE YOUR LIFE EASIER. WHETHER IT MEANT TAKING YOU AND UNCLE CONNIE TO YOUR DR. APPOINTMENTS,DOING YOUR FOOD SHOPPING, PICKING UP YOUR PRESCRIPTIONS, ENJOYING LUNCH OR DINNER WITH YOU BOTH AT APPLEBEES, OR VISITING EITHER OF YOU IN THE HOSPITAL. YOU ALWAYS SMILED WHEN YOU SAW ME.
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MY 'JACKIE KENNEDY' AGAIN!
FOR NOW I CAN ONLY PICTURE YOU WALKING HAND IN HAND WITH THAT MOVIE STAR GORGEOUS U.S. AIRFORCEMAN UNCLE OF MINE. AUF WIEDERSEHEN IN HIMMEL. ICH LIEBE DICH! DON'T LET ME FORGET, ERIN GO BRAGH!
