I have the most heart-warming memories of my Aunt Connie. In 1965 when she came into my life, she drove a big old Chrysler. She would take my cousin Barb and I out tooling about the highways. I don’t remember where we would go, but each of us always had a bottle of Pepsi and the radio would be blaring the tune “My Girl” by the Temptations. I was all of about 10 years old then. Over the years every time I hear that song I think of Connie. She was the most caring, big hearted person I have ever known. Heaven was made for people like her.
