Death's Door

When I looked at the caller ID and saw my mom's number earlier tonight, I knew it wasn't good news.

My aunt passed away around 2:30 MDT this afternoon (Saturday). At least it was quick, and she didn't suffer any more.

We didn't see a lot of my Uncle Jim and Aunt Joan back in the day. Almost all of us lived on the south side of St. Louis, while they lived out in Florissant, a suburb 30 miles away. But once everyone had gotten older, we began to see more of them. And she was one of my favorite aunts...probably #2. She had a great sense of humor, especially once she had a few beers in her.

She'll be terribly missed...and it makes the situation with Jim that much worse.
