I am so sorry for the loss of my beloved aunt. There is no way that this forum can explain my grief. I only want to say my best memory was at my mom’s house when I was having a bridal shower, (which, of course, I didn’t want, but my mom did, so she could invite her sisters, really mom?) Anyways, after all gifts and things were passed, it was time to have food and chatter. Aunt Ruth and Aunt Regina went back to the loveseat they were on to get their glasses, because they needed them to read some of the scores on the games. It must’ve been at least an half hour later, my mom asks “where’s my glasses?”…Those 3 ladies had such identical glasses and eyesights, it took them another 15 minutes to figure out who’s glasses was who’s!!! The best bridal shower EVER
