Maribel Helen was my delightful, talented aunt. I didn't get to visit her often when I was a child, but I have many memories of her from those times. Long ago she told me stories about Mac, the Scottie dog. As a young teen who had never cooked anything from scratch, I asked for her homemade dinner roll recipe and was awed by the work required to produce them. I admired her admired her as if she were a beautiful movie star, skilled in all creative work. When I became an adult, I saw her show the same interest in my young daughter that she must have shown in me during my early years. I am grateful for the impact she had on my life. I also appreciate those who cared for and supported her throughout the challenges of her later years. I believe my daddy and his little sister and all our family members who have passed into new life are rejoicing together today in Perfect Love.
