I remember aunt Cleo-
 Aunt Cleo was always a very independent person, who never married. But, she truly loved her family and nieces and nephews.
 Cleo only worked at one place her entire career, from age 18 until 65 she was a faithful Sears employee. 
 I remember her being a very busy person, and after years of being a manager at Sears, she was used to taking charge and having people do as she asked or instructed. 
 She loved fishing, bowling and women’s softball.
 When I was young and the family would visit, she would take us fishing in her boat every chance she had. 
 When I was about 8, I spent a month with grandpa, grandma and Cleo. At one point I did something they were upset about (I have no memory of what), and Cleo said if I did it again, she would spank me. I sassed her and told her she can’t spank me, because she’s not my dad.
She promptly called my dad and handed me the phone, of course, he told me she had his permission to spank if I didn’t listen.
 When my wife and I had children of my own, we visited grandma and Cleo, they had cooked fish for dinner (my favorite). But, the kids said “we don’t like fish “. So, she asked what they wanted, they said, “pizza!”. She said that’s what my grandbabies will get. So, Cleo and I went out in a tropical monsoon and got them pizza.
 I also remember her as being someone I felt close to, and now I’m looking forward to seeing her again soon, in the resurrection.
