Good Morning ClaraSuzanne.

Good to see you today.

Sad news... My aunt Darlene died during kidney treatment yesterday.

We'll be heading to Milwaukee for the funeral on Thursday.

She was a jovial sort. She and her husband continued to take care of their 50+ year old daughter, who was born with Downe's Syndrome.

She always tells the story that after they had discovered their daughter Mary had Downes, and the Doctors had recommended Mary be institutionalized. My aunt Dar called the recommended institution, and they said, "When can we pick it up?" They decided to raise Mary at that point.

She will be missed.
