On Thursday, my great aunt, known always to me and my siblings simply as Auntie Elsie, passed away. She had been suffering from cancer, and went quite quickly. She was my mother's aunt, my Nannie's sister. I spoke to them both yesterday, and they both seem to be doing okay. We won't be able to make it back for the funeral, and in fact my mum will miss it too as she is flying out here for a visit next weekend. My dad will be there though. I sent my Nannie some flowers, and today I got condolence cards for her and my mum. I wasn't especially close to Auntie Elsie, but I knew her well and always enjoyed seeing her. She made lots of clothes for me and my siblings when we were little, and also made a few for my kids recently. She will be missed.
