It is frequently said "they don't make them like the used to".
A sometimes reply is "they never did"
Aunt Hannah was proof that they did.
And that the "old models" had traits that their sleek successors can't
match.
I had never once thought about her passing from this world
And if I had would have assumed she would fade away like the flame of a
candle in another 30 years.
We had such a wonderful visit by Alan and Marsha, and never in our darkest dreams thought we'd receive a message "Hi. We're home safely. We have what seems to be very bad news about my mom"
Now Aunt Hannah is gone, and if there is a heaven she is saying hello to Grandma Faggie, and Aunt Mary, and maybe some other wonderful ancestors.
Love to all of you from all of us.
