June Wing I’m so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. It seems only yesterday I saw her at Thrifty’s looking healthy and active.
I’m so sorry about your loss.
I have fond memories of Aunt Shirley , especially of the happy times I visited Victoria as a child . I remember playing in her house and yard , feeling comfortable and welcome.
Later, as an adult , whenever I would see her at an extended family event , she was friendly and talkative. She would ask about each family member and showed a genuine interest in us.
The years passed, but she didn’t seem to age or change much. I will remember her as “ forever young .”
