In Memorium

[garnigal]

My great-aunt Edith passed away today. She was in her 90's - 95ish? She was a career woman in an era when there weren't very many women in careers. She was the last of my grandfather's siblings, the last keeper of the family knowledge (now passed down to me), and a generous and wonderful aunt that all her nieces and nephews, great-nieces and nephews, and great-great nieces and nephews all adored.

She was pretty great. I've got a box full of my grandfather's letters home to his mom and to her - he told his sister a lot more than he told his mother. ;)

I've got a whole new impression of Grandpa.
