I can remember going upstairs to Aunt Rose's and down the alley to Aunt Josephine's house. Of visiting her brother Jim (my uncle) and her sister Lillian (my Aunt). What a wonderful family. I'm grateful to their children and their children's children. Each of us carries the legacy of this family forward. Praise God for the 70 years of marriage shared by Aunt Rose and Uncle Jim. A rare thing today. May The love of Christ comfort us all as we wait for our reunion with those gone before.
