Beautiful

Yesterday we spent the day with my husband's cousins celebrating the life of their mother who passed away early on Wednesday. All, but two of the cousins were together. It was a time to remember the life of a beautiful woman. Left widowed at at early age with two young children, this aunt found a job and made a home for herself and the girls. She worked with psychiatric patients at the veterans hospital. She loved to travel--to Hawaii, England and Florida. She couldn't help herself--snuck table food to the dog. One year, she experimented with chutney and gave it to us as a Christmas gift. Her favorite color was yellow--yellow roses on the casket and at her head. And our flowers were appropriate--beautiful but simple as were all the other flowers and plants. And then a time of fellowship at her favorite restaurant.
