Sorry about the loss of Aunt Pinky, please accept my condolences. This
reminds us how short life is and we should appreciate every moment.

Life isn't short if you live to 82. We all can only hope to make it
htat far and stay health.

Thank you - it was expected and a blessing although no one is ever really
prepared for the passing of a loved one.

I'll give it a B.

The church I attend used to serve it that way, too. No more. Must've
had a review by the health department or something. Leftovers would,
I'm pretty sure, go back into the original container. I don't think
you can do that. . .

Nice. Dessert is important.

She was lucky to have you in her life.

You are very kind - but quite frankly I was the lucky one - Hearing her
grandkids speak of Pinky gave me a real insight into being a grandparent.
