Had a message from my dad last night that his younger sister passed away yesterday morning. This after my mom's brother-in-law passed a couple of years ago, her brother right at a year ago and his widow this last spring. Her sister died in the 90s. I only have one living aunt and uncle left, and he's in an assisted living facility now - WWII vet, and still feeling the effects of the pneumonia he contracted during the Battle of the Bulge.
Aunt Mary, who died yesterday, had estranged herself from the family some years ago - Ms Uly never met her, and we've been married for 15 years. Chris, of course, never knew his great-aunt. :(
When we go back this winter, I'm taking the video camera and interviewing my parents. They're healthy in their late seventies, but it's time to start that project now.
