I have always been touched by you. Maybe it is because I know we were alike? Maybe it is because my mother adored you? Whatever the reason, I am happy to say that I would have been your niece. I will never forget the way that I felt the day in Elkand when that man approached Mimi and told her that he named his son after you. What an honor!! Everyone LOVED you! You have many many reasons to look down and be proud!! God bless always.

From his niece,
Kristen Smetanka
