Matt, Anna, and I went to Chicago with my sister Sue for our aunt's funeral. She had been ill on and off this year, so while we weren't expecting her death, it was also not a great shock. While the occasion was a sad one, it was a wonderful time as well. It was good to reminisce about all the great things we remembered about Auntie Laverne. Fourteen out of my aunt's 22 nieces and nephews were able to attend the funeral. There were also many great and great-great nieces and nephews there as well. Many of us hadn't seen each other for many years, so it was an awesome time to get re-acquainted and caught up with everyone. The first picture is of my mom with her remaining sisters. The other is of Sue and me with all of our cousins who were able to attend the funeral.
