Aunt Mary was my mother's sister and I can remember with fondness going to her home in Needham when Uncle Ralph was alive. The two story house intrigued me! And then they moved from upstairs to downstairs! Jack and I saw Aunt Mary in February of this year. We had seen her in June of 2007 when we were back for a family reunion. We realized she was failing. She certainly lived a good life and lived the longest of her siblilngs. My mother lived to be 96. We will miss her.
