My sweetest girl. I was so lucky to spend the last year up close and personal while being at your Dad’s all spring summer and fall. Chasing Lucy around and having her play with my Mika girl was such a joy. Making summer cocktails grill good food and sharing laughs was my absolute privilege. I love you HollyJoe. I know you will be watching over all who love you from the stars. No star shines brighter than you. Love Aunti.
