My Sweet Aunt Bon.

Where to begin... There are so many memories to choose from throughout the years...but I can say one of my favorites was taking Ash to that concert🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ Nobody wanted to call and tell you about what had happened...we were scared that you were going to flip out...which you did. One of my favorite things that you would do (especially when I would do something stupid) is look down and shake your head with that smirk that everyone knows. I personally had seen it millions of times🤣I am happy that I had got to see you a couple times before you left us. I was looking forward to seeing you a lot more 😢 I'm gonna miss you Aunt Bon. ...so so much. Watch over all of us down here. When we lost you, we lost a piece of us that will never be refilled. Love you♥️ See ya when I get there.

Forever my coach

Even though she hadn’t coached me since I was like 13 she was still Coach. I took a lot from her when I started coaching softball. She saw worth in every player and encouraged us. My favorite memory though was when she made sure I had my one and only career home run. She always coached 3rd and I was rounding second (slowly may I add) after hitting the ball to the fence. Chubby, teen me was content with a triple but Coach wasn’t having it. She waved me home, I shook my head no as I passed the shortstop, she had other plans and she chased me from third all the way to home to make sure I did it. My family still laughs about that. She was one of a kind.
