Family...

This weekend was one of those bittersweet times when you have a sad event to attend but still feel warm and fuzzy because it means you get to connect with your FAMILY <3

Yesterday we attended the funeral of my Great Aunty Kay.  90 years old and still as fresh and fiesty as I will ever remember.  A woman of grace, community spirit and family loyalty....a treasure cherished by her family and whom will be deeply missed!  It was a time of celebrating a wonderful life and reacquainting the ones left behind, something done far too little.  For the first time since my own Mother's funeral all of her siblings were gathered in one place, something needing to be documented!  here is what is left of my immediate "extended family" and the wonderful ties I have left to my "Smith Family" heritage!  Love you guys and all the personalities you bring to our lives!
