the Absolute Agnostic

RIP Aunt Mary

Aunt Mary was the matriarch to our family for so many years - Grandma Gannon having died so long ago. She took interest in the lives of her 22 nieces and nephews, provided council, remembered birthdays, witnessed our lives, births, birthdays, communions, confirmations, weddings, every major event, many minor events, witnessed by the our aunt. Aunt Mary worked from 13 to 55, taking on responsibility for her 8 brothers and sisters with her own father dying when she was a young woman. I feel empty inside knowing our matriarch, our witness has moved on. Wishing you peace aunt Mar. Love, Joe

For anyone unable to attend the wake, feel free to take a look at this slide show of photos that capture a small slice of our Matriarch's life. Many of those Aunt Mary loved are missing from the slide show given the short notice and limited access to photo albums.         http://youtu.be/kkcC5gLscgg
