As much as I miss her, I can still conjure up some of Aunt Joy's funnier comments in my mind and they still make me laugh.Greta Koehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429623811794360612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5324800784948486726.post-24640217525722262172009-01-28T09:54:00.000-08:002009-01-28T09:54:00.000-08:00What a lovely tribute to a special person.

One thing that I have found in my own research to my family is that at one time, people were truly raised by a "village" with extended family nearby. When people got older, they helped each other out. Very different from today where we are all like little "islands"! I am sorry for you loss but happy to hear that you had an opportunity to learn so much from her!Andrea Christmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04708535087949160210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5324800784948486726.post-49368848456627919902009-01-28T06:34:00.000-08:002009-01-28T06:34:00.000-08:00Thank you, Colleen.

People took care of relatives and perhaps others because it was the "right" thing to do. I found that in my research of my own family, if someone needed a home my greatgrandmother would take them in. Probably the others would too, I just have not hear ab out it, yet.Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02714440790407126206noreply@blogger.com
