Sorry to hear.
She was greatly admired.
As I reflect on my past with Aunt Toodles, I began to understand she was my favorite aunt. She always treated me as an adult and corrected me often with with a special blend of wisdom and forthrightness. She also had a way of listening with her eyes making one feel she was truly engaged with them. Friendly was more a description then a name. She is loved.
My sincere condolences to the family. May the God of all comfort give you the comfort you need to endure this difficult time and the days ahead (2 Corinthians 1:3,4)
