Family Ties
Mike, Mark and I were fortunate enough to have had pretty idyllic, safe and secure childhoods filled with fun, laughter and adventures. Part of our growing up and what made our childhoods so special was our holidays spent with our cousins Jeanne, Jim and Dan, our Uncle Joe and Aunt Alma and our Grandparents, Grandma and Pop. We created some great memories over holidays spent together, all documented by Dad in what seems like thousands of photos and reels of film.
Our Pop and Grandma were the nicest, most sincere and giving grandparents any grandchild could ask for. They created a foundation from which strong family ties would grow.
Aunt Alma carried on this tradition with her love and care dedicated to her family. She was an incredibly thoughtful person, always remembering my Birthday with a card. Even when I moved to New Zealand she was one of the few who didn’t consider it the moon and realized a card would still make it across the Pacific with the correct postage applied. And her cards were the best, I’ve saved many of them.
I always enjoyed our phone chats whenever we were back home, we always made sure to have a catch up which in later years included Phil as well. She would fill us in on the happenings of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, very proud of each and every one and all their achievements. Sometimes it would turn out to be a very long chat due to the extended nature of her continually growing family!
She loved her family and she was loved back. She continued that legacy of love and strong family ties. She was a good person, we loved her and we will miss her, Rest In Peace Aunt Alma.
Love Beth and Phil
To my precious cousins,
I am very sorry that I am on the other side of the Pacific Ocean and cannot be with you at this time to share our memories together. We were very lucky, growing up, to have been able to spend so much time with you, thanks in no small measure, of course, to Aunt Alma. As you know, she and Uncle Ed had more than a few things in common, and one thing I enjoy whenever we meet is to trade our stories about some of those common traits, which could test our patience at times (as the impatient kids we probably were) but which also can bring a smile to our faces, looking back, since we were lucky to have parents who were so sincere and concerned about us. Aunt Alma's generosity of spirit extended beyond her own children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren to include not just her nieces and nephews but also their spouses and children. My wife Yuko and I were amazed and very touched over the years to receive not only Easter and Christmas cards but also birthday cards for our two daughters, Emma and Mia, sent all the way to Japan no less! This is just one example of Aunt Alma's remarkable ability to look beyond herself to care for others. I miss my Aunt Alma and her younger brother very much.
Love,
Mike
