My aunt Marcie was the most amazing Woman I have ever known. She was my hero growing up. When I was a little girl I loved spending time with her more than anyone else. In my eyes she knew everything. When ever my family went somewhere I would ask to go to Aunt Macie’s instead. When we lived in the house next door to her, you couldn’t get me to come home. I was always right behind her, in the garden, watching her sew, sitting on the counter in the kitchen, watching her cook. She taught me about flowers, especially her roses. She would tell me about making a Strawberry rhubarb pie. She convinced me a Garter snake was harmless, until I started picking them up in my hands. She would talk to me as though I understood every thing. She never talked down to me because I was a child. She was teaching me. I remember every word she ever told me I remember everything she ever taught me. She will always be my hero and I will miss her for the rest of my life. Penny
