Husbands Aunt Passed Away
My husbands aunt passed away on Thursday. She had the most infectious laugh of anyone I ever met. She was 78 years young and is the sister of my father-in-law who passed a couple years ago. When she and her younger sister got together it was a cacklefest for sure. You couldn't help but laugh right along with them.
The visitation will be today and although it will be a sad time, it will be nice to see family we haven't seen for quite some time. She has a son and his family from out of state that of course will be here. I wish we could have mandatory reunions every two years at least so we can all stay close as we were when we were younger. It was mentioned to me the other day that it is now my generation that will be passing. I hadn't thought if it that way and to tell ya the truth..I wish this person would have kept their mouth shut. But...time does go on and everyone and everything will pass.

What a nice way to tell about this special person in your life, by remembering her laughter.
I'm sorry for your family's loss. Hugs to you, and don't let the comments of others (about your generation) get you down. Best to ignore it. |

Janet, I'm sorry for your loss.
What a wonderful legacy to be remembered for your laugh! Sounds like she will be a welcome addition at the pearly gates. HUGS

So sorry about your loss. It is wonderful to have fond memories of the people we love to look back on and enjoy. My aunt who passed recently had a wonderful laugh. It's strange the sweet things we remember.
Don't worry about our generation's passing. Hopefully we have a lot of living to do if God sees fit to let the world last.

Dear Janer,
I'm sorry for your loss. She sounds wonderful and I'm so glad you had her for the time you did. It sounds like you really enjoyed her.

My husbands side of the family was so large and lively. Never a dull moment. Everyone at the funeral home was in full spirit too. The stories, the laughter...you could almost hear Dorothy laughing with us.
