my lovely aunt

passed away last night.  she had been suffering with Parkinsons, Lupus and then Dementia, so it  was also a relief I think that she  let go.  She was fortunate enough to be able to stay home until the end and her family was with her.  I'd been hoping to see her this summer - as 2008 was the last time  I did.  I thought I would use a photo from that visit as today's blip in honor of her.
