My auntie was 98 yesterday. She got loads of cards and flowers and a visit from my sis and our cousin. She had chocolate cake too. Today, she got up, sat in her chair, went to sleep and didn't wake up. What a way to go.

I have been overwhelmed by your kind commets & willingness to share your own memories. I've had a lump in my throat & a smile on my face. I'm sorry I can't reply to every comment. My auntie never wanted the limelight but I have to share this pic of her on her last birthday.
