They live in another state too so when my aunt died none of us went since that is more for the living and they were the ones that would not let us communicate with our aunt. Sorry for your loss just the same and enjoy your holiday weekend with your family.
I sure did not want to get out of bed this morning. I did well choosing to work Tuesdays instead of Thursdays in Nashville. There are 5 major events in Nashville today & traffic will be a HUGE mess this evening. Have a good day crew.

I just don't get it. My mother and her siblings always kept these kinds of secrets from others. None of us knew my aunt was ill until Tuesday when some of us were told she died. Maybe it's just me, but I don't believe this is how family should behave.

Exactly. We ordered flowers last night and we will send cards today.
Weather here will be interesting today. Remnants of a tropical storm will be moving through today.
