This week
We said good-bye to the
9th of 10 for Anna and Jeremiah,
Born, raised on the farm,
Never went into the barn.
Long-standing-Brooklynite,
Teller at banks that no longer exist.
Follower of Days of Our Lives,
Fan of theYankees

Holding my cousin,
Long ago.

Beautiful tribute. And the photo...
I'm sorry for your loss, Anita. My family said goodbye this year to the last of my mother's side's aunts and uncles. It means a goodbye for our childhood memories, too, doesn't it? I love seeing the picture.
From your poem, I can tell this was a full life. I'm sorry for your loss. Slowly the aunts and uncles leave us, but the memories of these people will linger.
