“Well, good gosh a’mighty! She’s dead as she’ll ever be, ain’t she? Well, ain’t she?” - Rucker Blakeslee, in the book ‘Cold Sassy Tree’, in reference to Miss Mattie Lou, his recently deceased wife. Seems like your aunt’s father and he thought alike!!

Yeah! But Aunt Belle's father said it first--more than 75 years ago. Maybe the author heard of his comment.We have certainly talked about it once a few times in our extended family. Or maybe that view is more prevalent than we like to think.
