    To my extended family, the Hohenemsers,
    What can I say about my Aunt Bea? She was a loving caring incredible human being with a heart of gold. Your mom always made me feel like a fourth daughter and she made sure to tell me that every time that she saw me. I’ll never forget the tuna fish and apples for lunch when we were in elementary school. I’m so sad for all of you. May all the loving memories and laughter you shared stay with you. I love you all very very much. Amy
