To the family of my precious Aunt Bagee. Yes, that is what I called her all my life. A wonderful, exciting person and a real mover and shaker. She was always active and busy. Loved writing her notes and all my life I loved receiving them. Aunt Bagee was my Mom's best friend as she was also my Aunt Gerry Austin's friend. They all went to high school together in Brooklyn. I have a picture of the 3 of them that I cherish.
I cannot express enough how I will miss the fact that she just isn't there anymore for me to call once a year. We lived so far apart. I am now in Deerfield Beach, Florida in case any of you want to visit. Please accept my sincerest condolences to a lovely, crazy woman whom I loved very much.
Love from her Goddaughter Virgie Austin Polito

Chris, I remember your mom sitting with mrs. Earle talking about their book "Early life and times in St. Clair". What a great lady. I miss hearing about old st. Clair. She will be missed. Mark Edmonson, Lexington MI
