I don't feel comfortable telling her story, or too many details, as she is from extended family, and I'd hate to violate her, or her children's privacy.
The important thing is, she had a little time to love and say goodbye, making a beautiful, positive impact on everyone she encountered. We weren't super close, but her absence is marked, and I needed the catharsis of acknowledging it.
Husband and I went to the wake, and helped lighten the mood with Southern traditions of really celebrating life. We cracked jokes, and shared stories, but unfortunately driving to the valley two days in a row caught up with both of us having leg problems, and we disappeared into the sunset.
