I can't remember a time when Aunt Lorean was not in my life.  She made such an impact on all of us with her unconditional love, her kind and understanding words and her wisdom. She was there for holidays, tearful times, happy times, stressful times and, of course, lots of boating times!  I'm so grateful for her friendship with my mom and the many, many times she helped her out - with us, with dad, with just everything it seems. I always knew I could call her for advice and she often would start her sentence with "Kid...". I loved talking to her and just having her around. When I think of home and think back on memories, she was always in those thoughts along with Mom and Dad. I will miss her greatly and feel a big hole in my heart, but I'm glad she is truly at peace now. I know I will see her again. I love you Aunt Lorean - you were the best God-Mother, Grandmother and friend!
