Yesterday was bright and sunny but cold. We went to church in Ottawa and then a bit of shopping.
Colin’s aunt died on Saturday (Dad’s youngest sister). Judy was 55. She had down’s syndrome so actually lived a good long life. I think Judy has been missing Isobel (her ‘go-to’ person) as she hasn’t been herself since Isobel died. Judy went peacefully in her sleep and the nursing home staff found her Saturday morning. Not a bad way to go, I guess.
Dad is taking it well. With Judy’s age, it was a shock but not really a surprise. And he’s seen her decline over these last few months. Luckily, his sister (in Harrow) and his brothers and SILs up here are really stepping up and helping out. I was afraid he’d have to make all the arrangements and deal with everything himself since he’s the eldest.
Wow, first Mom, then Colin’s sister’s FIL, and now Aunt Judy -let’s hope that’s our 3 bad things. We’ve had enough ‘nonsense’ to last us a few years.
