Aunt Jean led an amazing life. She married her love, traveled the world and was surrounded by an amazing family. She will be missed, but she’s left so many memories. After all, she was married to my Great Uncle Jim – the greatest guy of the greatest generation. :)
We also didn't explain it completely to Marco. We told him we were going to a celebration to honor Granny's sister and that Granny might be sad so she might need extra hugs and kisses.
He was pretty good during church. He did scream out "That's my Granny!" once during the slide show and he did raise his hand when the pastor asked if anyone would like to say something. (Snatched his hand down - eek, can you imagine!?)
The service was perfectly appointed and personal. She was well honored by her family and her church. She would be proud.
At home, we recollected our trip. We always share our favorite parts. Marco said that he had three favorite parts and one of them was "the party for Granny’s sister where I had to be really quiet and then there were chocolate treats.”
And Aunt Jean continues to make an impression…
To my Great Aunt Jean. She was Great.
