Oh how I would love to enjoy that homemade ice-cream with my great aunt Alice and my great grand mother.

My great Aunt Lucille passed away before I was born. But I was in my thirties when her sisters, my great aunts Helen and Alice, died.

One of my best memories of my Aunt Alice is that she made a sack lunch for my brother Marc and I to take to Tiger Stadium. She and my Uncle Stanley were living in Detroit. My parents, my brother, and my grandfather (her brother), and I spent the night before seeing the Tigers play the next day.

This is what I remember:

• It was REALLY hot

• There was a bad thunderstorm that night

• My brother was little and their neighbor girl took him for a ride on her bike and they wiped out

• Aunt Alice played the organ. I wanted to touch that organ by my mom told me not to touch the organ

• Aunt Alice packed my brother and I sack lunches in brown paper bags to take to Tiger Stadium. I think there was an apple.

• My Aunt Alice and I become pen pals after that. In one letter she sent me a picture of herself.

This is what I know for certain:

• I loved my Aunt Alice very much
