Wednesday Moment - Age 94

July 4th 2020, my Aunt Janice passed peacefully, after having lunch, at age 94

She was a stupendous sweet person. Always upbeat and perky, dressed to the nines. She taught geometry for a zillion years, and former students still came to see her - even in the nursing home.

It was time.  She shall be missed.

Love and Hugs

    Dear Joanne - lovely memory photos ... I feel for you losing your special Aunt Janice recently ... my mother too went at this time of year. Your father will be missing his sister ... he'll be very sad. My thoughts to you and your father - I'm sure you'll be spending a great deal of time on the phone to him - and I'm not sure whether you'll feel able to go up to see him. Your aunt was obviously one special lady - who set standards for her students and friends in her ambit.

    With thoughts and stay safe - Hilary

      thanks so much. You summed her up well. I won't be able to go up, alas. But I did see her last Nov. My dad's okay - she just hadn't been herself and I think he said farewell a while ago.

    Joanne, I am so sorry of your aunt's passing. Next week on the 14th it will be 22 years that my mum left us.....a date I dread each year.
    You have shown us some wonderful family photo's and memories for you that time cannot erase.
    Take care and safe.
    Yvonne.

    Sounds like she made a beautiful splashing and lasting impression. Twas a life well lived for nearly one century.

    I'm very sorry for your loss, Joanne. May many warm-loving memories of your Aunt provide comfort in days ahead. Take gentle care.

      Oh Robyn - you would have gotten a kick out of her. Just a hoot.
