Passing and beyond


A sad occurance, which is really strangely comforting.

My dear sister, in her seventies, was laid to rest yesterday in Cape May. She lived a long, wonderful life and was a sweet, funny, eccentric, lovable woman. So many friends and relatives gathered to really send her off, so to speak.

I looked at my daughter and thought of family, as the ranks of the elders get smaller every year. My neices and nephews are the new us. I think they brought a lot to the table yesterday. I hope they bring something from the table, also.

My sister would have been so pleased.
