Every summer growing up, I could not wait to go to Canada to see my favorite Aunt and Uncle and spend time with my cousins to have nothing but laughs and create new memories. Those times always were, and will be, some of the best highlights of my life. From falling into the pool chasing tadpoles and being saved by my cousin David, to taking motorcycle rides with stitches, people vanishing from the pop-up tent and finding out they actually fell 6ft. to the ground, but still seemed to be comfortably sleeping. The broken teeth, a busted bumper falling off and driving all the way back from Canada, with 5 kids 2 adults, to pull into the driveway and have my father say, why did you bring that POS home? Watching how Canadians drive around a rotary in the US, it could have been a Monty Python scene. The endless trips to Wonderland Park and going on the stand-up roller coaster at 11 years old, with my older brother, David. I’m still afraid of heights to this day. Spending time with my uncle in Unity, and I still never caught a bigger bass than the one caught that day. Getting over there last year with Mom and Michele, such great memories and betting against myself on the horse races. As Jonny would say HA, but he’s still a WINNER! I would not trade these memories, or those we’ve yet to make, for anything in this world. There is a bond between this family, and it goes very deep. All of you will always be in our hearts. Continue to talk about the old stories and keep laughing, so we can still make her pee her pants up there. Without doubt, we will continue to create new memories as we keep Auntie Lorraine close to our hearts.
Love, Michael and Michele
