Last Sunday evening I got a phone call from my mother telling me that my Aunt Dee had passed away. Honestly, I still don't think it's sunk in! The service was going to be on Friday, April 8 at 7 pm in Gainesville, GA.
Chandler came up and stayed with us, he even brought the kids back up from south GA for us, which was a HUGE help! I was very excited to see Chandler and our other family that would be coming up to celebrate Aunt Dee's life.
We headed down to Gainesville Friday afternoon. We got to see a lot of family that we don't get to see much because we are all spread out over the state. We all got to eat supper together and then we headed to the church.
My Uncle Gregg, mom's brother, did the service, and he did a great job! He talked about Aunt Dee as a child, teen and adult. Some of the stories he told were new to me, I enjoyed hearing them! My cousin's husband, Keith, sang two songs, and Aunt Dee would have been very proud, he did a great job. My Aunt Nettie wanted Keith and me to sing, but we couldn't get together to work that out.
I'm going to get some pictures of Aunt Dee up very soon...she will be missed! I still don't think it's set in that she's gone. It makes me realize that we take each other for granted, we always expect people to just be there, and that's just not true....
