I miss my Aunt Louise. I have the best memories of growing up and how every year at least twice a year,we would visit with her. I must say I’m very surprised to not see her (only) brother Roy Earl Yarnell, not even mentioned in this tribute to her. They were very close.I will miss my Aunt.
I will always have great memories of my Aunt Louise, when my Dad would take us to her house for Christmas, and other holidays. She would set the most amazing table. My Dad, (Roy, her brother) would threaten us to behave ourselves, which we did, sort of. My brother and I would run through her big house in the Oakland Hills, it was the coolest house ever for kids. When I grew up….sort of, and would visit her and Uncle Lou, it was always a nice visit. She was so mellow compared to my Dad.The last time I saw her she was getting a bit older, yet still seemed very much like my Aunt. She had come down to see my Dad before he died. I spoke with her a few times when she moved to Walnut Creek area. I will miss the great memories I had as a child and I still remember she and my Uncle Bob. I love you. My Dad was always so big on family and sticking together, I hope your family can do the same. Robin and Parker
