Sisters of My Parents : Aunts to Be Remembered

    Some thoughts about my aunts, most of whom have passed on by now. One remains: Alma. Well, my uncles' wives are still alive, plus the step-sister of of my dad. 

    Ann, Kay, and Mary. Ann is the second and long time wife my mom's only brother. They have been together over 50 years. Kay (Kaye) is the widow of the my dad's only brother, who had five sons, all with my last name. Marie moved to Montreal, Canada, and is one of the three Swiniarski children of my biological grandmother, the mom of my father, who died when he was 16 year-old.

    The grandparent legally adopted him, making his uncle and aunts his new official siblings.

    My mom's sisters were all older: Mary, Alma, and Jeannette. My dad's sisters (aunts) were below the age of his mom, Francis: Dorothy, Maude, Marjorie, and Barbara.

    I have some thoughts and memories of all of them. I will try to share a few.

    The living women are great. I will try to outlive them and speak more on them later.
