My Aunt Sissy was the last relative on my dad's side of the family. It's an extremely sad day, but we have all the memories, life history, stories and love. she was a beautiful lady both inside and out. she never woke up without putting on all her jewelry. it was so cute. I loved all of our lunches we spent together talking, laughing and just getting away from everything. She was my whole world! When my father passed, her and Harry were right there, she held me tight. And when my mother passed last year, she was there to help me pick up the pieces. she would always tell me 'I don't know why I am hanging around so long?' I would respond every time with 'your life has a purpose, we may not always know what it is, but look at it, you wouldn't have had the chance to see your grandkids, great grand kids, great great grandkids, nieces and nephews grow up to be good people' she would say 'well I guess your right'!
I had her for 91 years and thats a whole lot of time to love someone your whole life! She meant the world to me and I will always remember and love her forever in my heart!. Rest in Peace!
I'll never forget the year I went to Florida for Christmas was the year Footloose came out and Grandma was dancing in the house to Footloose playing very loud on the stereo and confronted me about smoking cigarettes
