To Auntie my Hero my Role Model and my Biggest fan,
I wish I had a chance to say goodbye, to tell you how deeply you touched my life. You taught me so much from how to draw or cover my textbooks in school or how to cook and count my blessings, and Praise the Lord. I wouldn't be who I am today without your love. You were always my biggest supporter in all I did, from hockey games to those Boys Chorus' with Mr. Green, you always made me know I could do anything I wanted. Your mystery rides could never be repeated although I will try with my kids someday. Auntie there are so many memories that it would take all the paper in the world to document them. You always told me that someday I was going to make you and Grammy proud and I vow from this day forward to do just that. Your picture sits on my dashboard and your my guardian angel when I drive. Your picture is also on my bureau and I see it every morning when I wake up and it reminds me to go to the positive and stay away from the negative and count my blessings. I'll never forget the funny faces or the apple squares, your famous cakes or the raviolis but all food aside what I will remember most is the person you were, the devoted and loving mother, wife and aunt that you were, the woman of God you were. If anyone was ever a selfless person it was you. I hope someday you will look down on me from above and tell me that your proud of me and that you love me once again. Even after a year has passed I still miss you everyday, but nonetheless i continue to count my blessings one by one. I am working on creating a slide show of all the memories we have all shared with you and hopefully I can have it for Grammy by Easter her favorite Holiday. I met a wonderful Christian woman aunty I know you would love her and someday if the Lord blesses us with a family and children I am going to name my first born daughter Sonja in honor of the best person I've ever known.
I love you Auntie Sonja. And I will never forget you.
Love Always,
Brandon Richard
