Sunday dinners, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter and birthdays were all celebrated around Granny and Jan's dining room table.
I'm thankful I took the opportunity to spend my lunch break with the girls as I worked only 6 minutes from where they lived. I would arrive about the time 'The Young and the Restless' was ending so the girls would fill me in on the happenings of the show between commercials and then we would finish our visit before I headed back to work.
So many memories were made in that house and while family was still there heirlooms were divided among us and things were given away leaving bare walls and empty rooms.
Grandma is going to be fine, she'll be living with my In-Laws running the show and making sure our family traditions continue.
Despite arrangements, decisions and a busy time that comes with a funeral, chores on the farm still needed tending to. Luckily for me I had willing nieces and nephews stepping in to help out.
Goodbye Aunt Jan,
you'll forever be missed.

A little hug to say "I'm sorry." Take care.
I am so sorry Siami. Your family sound very loving.
Oh Siami, it saddens me to hear that your dear aunt Jan lost her life to pancreatic cancer so fast. In a way, it's a blessing that she didn't suffer for a long time but it's never easy to loose a loving member of the family.
She looks so kind and sweet.
How sweet and thoughtful that the kids are helping with farm chores.
Bigs hugs,
JB
I'm so sorry for her loss. She sounds like an amazingly loving person, and I'm so glad your grandma will be living with your in-laws.

I am sorry for your loss. Your Aunt Jean sounds like a wonderful and selfless lady. You made me laugh about visiting and talking about the Young and the Restless. I used to do that with my Grammy. Hugs!
I'm sorry for the loss of your aunt, but glad your family was able to spend a lot of time together.
So sorry for your loss! My granny just passed away earlier in Sept.
Your aunt sounds like a wonderful lady. I'm glad you got to visit with her and your Granny during lunches. I'm sure you'll miss her.
Such a beautiful lady.
