Poppy you will be missed. I am remember all the great time especially around Christmas when you would make us all pizza and get us as many popcorn balls as possible for us to eat. Or when you would tell us all the time we were too loud and that you had to turn your hearing aid down. Or when all us kids would play at your house and in the woods together. Or when you would take us to Wendys and long john silvers all the time to eat. And who could forget the polka music you would play as loud as possible. We love you Poppy and you will be missed.
