I thought Mary Brown was my aunt until I was a teenager. She was fun and did aunt-like stuff, and I assumed we were related because she was my cousins' aunt. I was devasted to learn we were not related by blood, that she was my cousins' aunt on the other side of the family.
I have known Mary Brown for more than 50 years. She was kind, funny, had a big heart and continued to do aunt-like stuff my whole life. I know she will be sorely missed by her "real" family, but I will miss her, too.
My deepest sympathy to the Brown and Mullaney families.
Love,
Lyn McNulty Curtis
