Today my aunt Eillen lost her battle with cancer. She passed away this morning. It is a dificult thing to grasp--she was 55 and left behind 5 children and a husband of almost 30 years.
Her daughter Wendy was one of my bridesmaids. Wendy and I grew up together and have been there as her mom and my dad battle cancer.
The Stockland family gathered this evening for a memorial service at the farm. It was a touching memorial to a woman we all loved and who brought so much to the family.
I struggle to understand all of this--but this weekend of celebrations of beginings and sorrow of early endings seems to be a glimpse of life and the importance of love and family.
