"Our last visit to see my Aunt Theresa in August 2021 was one of my most memorable ones. She gave me the biggest hug and said she was going to keep me there with her and she would hide me under her bed. We laughed so hard at that. I asked her if she wanted to pray the rosary with me and she said that she prayed it everyday like her mother taught her. She prayed every prayer with me including the long prayers after the rosary such as the Memorae and St. Michael prayer and the Hail Holy Queen prayers. When we had to go it was a very sad goodbye because I knew it would probably be the last time I would see her. I told her I loved her and she said, I love you more like she always did. I loved her so much and will miss her beautiful spirit. "
