Faun was my grandmother's favorite cousin. I went with Grandma and Grandpa to Ohio every summer to visit her and the other Treat relatives. (Faun's mother, Aunt Belle, was the sister of my great-grandfather Marcus Treat.) Aunt Faun sent me a card every year on our mutual birthday and we kept in touch until she died in 2002.
