LIFE

Uncle Ralph and Aunt Betty, such a beautiful couple!

This week my Aunt Betty passed away.  She was a beautiful, outgoing and vibrant woman.  Unfortunately, her life was slowly taken away by Alzheimer's Disease.  Her beloved husband took care of her until his untimely death 3 years ago.  She has been in assisted living since.  She lost her eldest daughter Lynn soon after she lost her husband.  She continued to be watched over by her daughter Amy, her youngest child.

My heart goes out to Amy and her brothers Skip and Doug.

Life is precious but it is also fleeting.  Sitting, waiting for someone else to make life better is a waste of time.  It is in our hands to make life the best it can be, regardless of its set backs.

Aunt Betty was such a vibrant woman.  She would want those she loved to not look back, but live life to the absolute fullest! To appreciate the past and continue to love those who have left us; embracing the present while planning for the future.
