Losing an Aunt

I just received a call from my cousin who informed me that my aunt passed away at 2:00 PM today. Aunt Sophie was our last living aunt and it is hard to give up someone you've had around so long. She lived to be 101 and 1/2! Her mind was sharp until a few days ago when she became sick with a urinary tract infection that infected her entire body. Doctors said that her heart was just as strong as ever when she passed; it was the other complications that got her. Of course, the family is in much sorrow for many thought she was a family fixture who would live forever. What a card she was! On her 101st birthday, she danced with the doctors and had a glorious time. During her life, she worked in a ladies' shoppe before retiring and traveling all over the world. She visited us when we were living in the Midwest. There wasn't a place you could mention that she didn't know more history about than you did. Aunt Sophie was one of a kind and she will be sorely missed by everyone who ever knew her.

We will be delaying our trip until Thursday since the funeral is scheduled for Wednesday afternoon. I will try to blog before we leave. The first RV park we are visiting has no WiFi but I think the next one will. I will have my computer with me in any case.
