Dear Makenzie,
A few months back I promised I would use part of this blog to write to you all about life and lessons and love. I promised I’d tell you all about the important things I always want to you tuck away in a safe spot in your heart. I have something very important I want to share with you. I want to tell you all about your Great Aunt Lorraine.

This week has been a very sad week for our family because we lost your wonderful Great Aunt Lorraine after a courageous battle with a disease not worth mentioning. I write this post to you because I always want you to know about Aunt Lorraine! She was hilarious, interesting, beautiful, talented and SO FUN!!!
Your Great Aunt Lorraine was the coolest Aunt! She used to have a light-up Christmas sweatshirt, which always made me smile when I was a kid. And she and Uncle Jim were always taking Aunt Melissa and I fun places when we were little – Indians games, Nutcracker ballet, and even a trip to Canada once.

I can write for days about the wonderful memories I have of Aunt Lorraine but most importantly I want you to know about her ability to always find the bright side of things. She really really knew how to enjoy life. I hope you someday do the same.
Pictures are really worth a thousand words so I have included some pictures below for you to know all about your Great Aunt Lorraine. She will be forever missed.
Love you lots Kenz,
Mom, xoxo

Wisdom from Aunt Lorraine to you at your shower!
At your baby shower everyone wrote you notes. Aunt Lorraine wrote about you, “She will be a star in Hollywood” Maybe someday you will!
