Sharing in the sadness as I remember Aunt Jackie. When we would visit Aunt Jackie and Uncle Pusey from Ohio , she would always make homemade ice-cream and have us over. They often took us to Hershey park for a day of fun, and always remembering us at Christmas. Her kindness, love and laughter will be cherished forever .
