“Good-bye” from – Aunt Irene

Jul 23rd “Good-bye” from – Aunt Irene

We just spent one week remembering “Aunt Irene Riley” with some of the pictures that we had taken and some very old photos – like the one above! If there is one message that I could pass on – to those who care about their family and would like for all the next generations to be able to understand – just a little better – why things in the old days went this way instead of that way – what better way would there be – than to pull out an old “FAMILY” library showing pictures and with a few words explaining the photo adding lots of details – – as everyone knows that a good photo is worth a “THOUSAND” words!

Aunt Irene was not one to wear lots of black – it just was not a good color for her. What does come to mind – looking at this photo – dressed all in black – time for a “FUNERAL” – and Aunt Irene’s age in this photo – this could very well have been – when she was in mourning? Little ten (10) year old Bernard was killed when a drunken truck driver – jumped the curb and hit Little Bernard. That was a very depresssing time for everyone who knew Little Bernard – he was the smartest, most outgoing kid – so full of fun – and a real joy to be with and around – by everybody!
