AUNT
This is my dear Aunt Fran. She was my mother's oldest sister. She has passed (as we say back in KY). She will be dearly missed. I have many, many found memories of her. Here are three: 1) She held my mother's hand at the doctor's office. I had broken my arm in a fight at school, and had to have it operated on. During the x-ray process, they discover two tumors, one in my arm and one in my leg. My aunt held my mom's hand and prayed while we waited for it seemed like hours in the waiting room in Paducah. They told my mother that the tumors in my arm and leg were benign, lucky for me. 2) She made the world's best green beans, bar none. I can still taste them. 3) She, my grandmother, my mom, and another aunt cut and quilted a wedding ring quilt for our wedding. To say she will be dearly missed is an understatement. Tonight, I cry.
