Two days after my last post my aunt died in San Diego. The day of my last post was her birthday; she was 89. I had spoken with her on the phone on the 15th to wish her a happy birthday.

She used to read my blog, so it's been rather sad for me to come here and look at it knowing she'll never read it again.

She's being laid to rest in Cleveland and we'll be attending her funeral there on Monday.

She was the last surviving member of my dad's family and the youngest member of the family. I'll miss her and already do. We always had so much to talk about, and her mind was as good the last time I talked with her as it ever was.
