When I was about 6 I looked up to my big cousin Dorothy who was a teenager. she taught me to draw little pictures for my friends' autograph books and she could play 'Gollywogs Cakewalk' on the piano without the music! I was thrilled to be asked to be one of the bridesmaids at her wedding to Archie and I still have the lovely silver necklace they gave me at that time.

She led a good life, may she rest in peace now.
