I am so deeply saddened to hear about Aunt Jamesina's passing. Even though the family knew that this was about to happen soon, for the last few days,, it is still incredibly heart breaking and devastating for you all. Aunt Jamesina had a special place in all our hearts, and she will be deeply missed. She always had that sparkle in her eyes, and her warm engaging smile will always be remembered by me. She is now with your Dad, and your baby sister, and her parents and siblings. And I am sure they are welcoming her home with open arms and lots of love. Aunt Jamesina will be missed by so many.. Hugs to you all....
