Family always has the special connection that extends beyond years. I'm so glad you had such a lovely time, despite the circumstances.

I think that last paragraph sums up exactly how I feel about this family.

Wonderful post, Cori. Thanks for sharing that — sounds like your great aunt was quite a character — in fact, it sounds like your family is full of them — excellent.

I attended a funeral last week for a man I dind't know. But I knew his daughter quite well. Listening to the eulogy, and then the comments from a host of friends, I had such a longing to have known him in life, for he seemed to be a person worth knowing. Your aunt sounds much like that.
