My memories of Aunt Loy go back years and years and years. So many memories locked away in my mind. I'll just say that I hope she and Uncle Bill, Nanny & Boppy and the rest of the family are all enjoying their fried chicken together up in Heaven. You'll always be in my heart, Aunt Loy. I love you! Rest in Peace.

My Aunt Loy was almost like a sister to me. We always had so much fun together. The memories I have of her visiting when my brother and I were teenagers are priceless. Now she's with Bill, my Mom, Dad, my brother and her 3 brothers along with grandma and grandpa, having late-night chicken suppers. Precious memories .Love and miss you all, Patti.
