She was my favorite Aunt. She was a fabulous cook. Great memories of her making not one but two bannana puddings in a day of¨ great memories of her an Uncle Martin vacationing in Oklahoma on many occasions. We played table games every evening!!! My mother-in law just loved their visits and jellies.
