Dear Aunt Sis-
Thank you for always smiling, being so kind and always looking for the good in people. You are an angel.
As a kid in the 1940's and 50's, visiting Cincinnati was a fun adventure. We would stay with mom's folks, the STEVES, but they were over 50, so not too fun, just loving. What was fun were the Conways! I can't get this memory out of my mind... Sis and Shake washing their car... and getting into a water fight... hose and all... and always laughing.
The special day each visit was when our Aunt Sis would take all of us to Coney Island*, by the Ohio River to swim in the H-U-G-E pool and to ride the rides! Aunt Sis was ALWAYS giggling and sweet... and ALWAYS asking "old money bags", Shake, can I have another $5 to pay for just one more ride? She never had a cross thing to say, and I know we deserved a few. in fact, Shake was the same and maybe that is why they made such a wonderful couple.
Dear Aunt Sis,
I know as an angel you are back with the man that you love, and when a bell rings, I'll be thinking of you two.
With all my love, gratitude and admiration for a life well lived --- your adoring nephew bids you good night.
Kari
Wiki said Coney eventually closed in '71; I still miss Coney and those trips with my Aunt Sis!
