I am so sorry for your loss. 88 isn’t so old in my mind. My siblings and I are the oldest generation in my family now. We lost our last aunt last winter.

What a special thing to be remembered for your laugh and your flowers! <br /><br />I have one aunt and uncle left. The uncle's health is failing and the aunt is rapidly losing her memory. My mom is still doing okay and almost 90. Won't be too long and I will be the oldest of the generation to follow. That's a sobering thought...that I hadn't focused on till right now.

In fact it's her birthday today, she'd be 103. I hadn't thought about it being the last aunt, husband had so many of them, five all told. I always called them collectively 'the aunts.' Now I imagine them all together again and there's a heck of a party up there. I hope your Aunt is celebrating with family and friends too, especially her dear husband.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00824027366993286152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-31296258897624797112018-09-25T08:46:13.702-05:002018-09-25T08:46:13.702-05:00Deepest sympathy to Louise's family and extend...Deepest sympathy to Louise's family and extended family.
