By the time my mother died in 2007, she had been through the deaths of 2 children, 2 grandchildren and a great grandson. She was one of a very few of her siblings and cousins left. She was nearly 103 and a few years ago, a cousin died at age 109. Her sister died in either 2010 or 2011. She had seen the deaths of a baby plus her three daughters had died the year before. My 3 cousins all died of cancer. My dad’s sister in law is the only one left in that generation. Very sad. What precious memories we all have of them, though. So thankful for them.
Wow, that’s a whole lot of tragedy for one family to go thru. She must have been a very strong woman. Blessings for your family.
