lagilman: coffee or die (bye-bye)
[personal profile] lagilman
Got news this evening that a member of my extended family died today. Ruby was my uncle's mother, and she was lively, strong-minded, and a total character, right up to the end. I always regretted that I was only related to her by marriage, and not blood.

She was 101 (or maybe 102, we're not sure), and the cause of death was probably sheer exhaustion. A full life, full-lived. I will not mourn, but remember.

I'm sorry for your loss; she sounds as if she were one of those people it's just neat to be around.

My thoughts are with you and your family. It's always sad to lose a loved one, but when they've lived that long at least you can be sure that they've had the time to collect and give lots of great memories and happiness!

Someone who lives her life as completely as it sounds like she did is still present in all of your lives.
And she is probably also making herself felt in whatever sphere she has passed into.
