The passing of my Aunt Aileen is especially sad because she was the youngest and only surviving sister out of nine. She and my mother, Emily, had a special bond through the years while living in different cities, and wrote letters to each other. Aunt Aileen continued to write after mother had a stroke and could no longer write back. Mother and I always appreciated that Aileen faithfully stayed in touch and shared her families' news. Much love and sympathy to my first cousins Leah and Adam, and their families.

It is with great sadness that we learn of the passing of Mom's(Mae)youngest sister and the last of the "Dingess girls." Although we can't be there for the services our thoughts and prayers are with you, cousins Alan John and Leah and your families.
