My very fun and crazy, Aunt Nancy. When I was little, we took a trip to Austin to visit Aunt Nancy, Uncle Jerry and my two cute cousins. One day, Aunt Nancy told my sister and I about this magical tree in their backyard and it was always full of surprises. So, when we went to bed that night, Aunt Nancy got all the adults to tape candy to the branches of the tree. Imagine our surprise the next morning when we awoke to find this tree full of candy that just magically grew overnight. It's one of my favorite childhood memories that I still recite to friends. She truly did have a vivid imagination, immense animation, and a sense of humor that was still reflected in her Christmas cards she wrote to my family and me up until a couple years ago. She was loved and will be missed. And, I'm sure she's making a candy tree for everyone in heaven.
