It is hard to find words that might bring comfort at this time of loss, but I find solace in thinking of Aunt Polly up in Heaven surrounded by her beloved angels.
I have many special memories of Aunt Polly. She loved the holidays, especially Christmas. To be surrounded by her family meant everything to her. I think of all the holidays dinners we celebrated at her house, then the shore house and later at Judy and Glenn's family home. Yes Jenn, I'll drink to that!
Aunt Polly never forgot a birthday or an anniversary. In her later years, when she was no longer able to get out and buy her cards I told her I would take over this responsibility. Yes, now you know why I am sending you all those cards!
My most special time with Aunt Polly was in the later years of her life. Missing Aunt Evelyn, she started calling me more frequently and we began to speak on a weekly basis. It was during this time that I developed a much closer relationship with Aunt Polly. I feel truly blessed to have shared this time with her.
My friend told me that when you love someone they never leave you - they are always in your heart. I hope this thought will bring you comfort at this time of loss. Rest in peace beloved aunt!
