(By way of explaining my recent absence.....)
My Auntie Muriel had eyebrows like two caterpillars on the south side of a tin roof in July. It was amazing how much she could say without speaking a word, how with facial expressions and body language, she could convey exactly what she was thinking.
I stood before my shattered family two days ago and delivered her eulogy.
God keep us all.
Peace ~

Oh Mylene, (hugs). I have given two eulogies in the last few years, and it is not an easy thing to do. Especially the writing of one. Too many memories, too much emotion. My sympathies to you and your family. Treasure your auntie's memory, she must have been an amazing person.
Hugs my friend! My thots and sympathies are with you at this time.
((((Hugs)))), strength and God's peace to you.
Jayme
My sympathies, Em.
