Thanks for sharing a personal story. I am glad for your sake that you had such an aunt, and glad for her sake that she had you. Yours was probably the only unconditional love she knew. I admire you for all that you did for your aunt. You seem like the same kind of person you say she was...real, caring and good. Maybe those of your family who were there will have those blinders pryed off just a bit by your behaviour. I hope so.
I sat down and tried to plan just how I want my funeral done the other day. A more difficult job than I anticipated. If I am not welcome in someone's home it makes me want to say they aren't welcome at my funeral, but that is sinking to their level I guess. I don't want a religious service, though I do want some verses and poetry read. All of us should probably give it some thought, as we will have some kind of service, planned by someone. With the peculiar situation we have in regards to family members we do want there it takes some thought.
Once again, my sympathy on the death of someone you loved so much. I still believe in a Creator. I still believe in justice tempered by love.
Take care,
Grunt

Dear Larry,
Please accept my condolences on the loss of your dear aunt.
The love you displayed to your aunt is commendable. What a true friend she really was!
It's so sad that the brothers and sisters gave you a cold reception at the hospital. They profess to know God's personality and yet their acts of un-kindness remind me of the hypocritical Pharisees. Instead of following God's law of love, they adhere to man-made laws created by their masters - the Governing Body.
Christian Love,
