Oh, Christie. I am sorry for your loss. It sounds like you already know what's most important -- that the love is never, ever lost.

May your Aunt Becky rest in eternal peace, and may your entire family stay blessed with memories of how wonderful she was.

Hi Christie,

I am sorry to hear about the passing of your aunt. You may not be able to pick up the phone to call her anymore -- however, all you have to do now is simply speak to her out loud.

What sad news. My Great Aunt taught me to crochet when I was 8. Great Aunts are great people, aren't they?

Christie I am so sorry to hear about your aunt passing away.

It is a much more intense feeling of miss them since we don't have the luxury of calling or seeing them anymore (you know I can empathize since the recent passing of my aunt too), but I am sure you will take comfort in the great memories that you have of her! I do!

**hugs**

My thoughts are with you in this time of sadness.

Even when a life has been lived to its fullest, the end is always sad for those who loved them. I'll drink a toast to Aunt Becky and her lush parakeet. And to you, too.

I'm so sorry to hear of her loss. It's so hard to lose a loved one, especially one for which you have such a special relationship with.

I don't know if I should laugh or cry. Aunt Becky was a special woman and will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
