Aunt Eileen Henry

Debbie Crisswell phoned me last week to let me know that mom's sister, Eileen, had died. The last time the two of them were together on earth, they sat in our house in Moro. It was Thanksgiving, 2001. They were both edging towards Alzheimers (Mom much more quickly than Eileen), so they sat in their rocking chairs all day, repeating the same old stories over and over again. The nice thing about it was, the stories were new to them both each time. Aunt Eileen lived with Debbie in Hillsboro for the past seven years. Now Mom and Eileen are together again and can reminisce together once again. Pictured with Aunt Eileen are Debbie and a child I don't know. (Posted by Orice)
