Joanne and I are deeply sorry for your loss. You are fortunate to have had her with you for so many years. A great memory of ours was when Lucy and Skeets visited with us in Connecticut while on a trip to New England just after we were married in 1978.
We went out for a fishing/boat ride on our boat and they insisted on buying us dinner afterwards. They spent the night with us at our house and continued their trip the next day.
It was great for us to converse with them as young adults to other adults vs. the aunt and uncle role. It was a very good time.
