Losing someone who is the last link in a generation hits hard.\u00a0 My great aunty Elvie passed away last week, and I haven\u2019t been able to sit and write the words I wanted to, I haven\u2019t been able to process the words to express my love and sadness for her.\u00a0 She was an absolutely beautiful woman. She was only three years older than my Grandma who was the daughter of one of Elvie\u2019s older siblings, Elvie and Grandma were best friends.\u00a0 Grandma lived with Elvie and her sibling for a while and she became one of the herd of kids in the house.\u00a0 \u00a0Grandma would always tell us stories of her and Elvie growing up together.\u00a0 Every single one of them being happy, joyful, stories that were only told with smiles on faces.<\/p>\n

Slowly the world took each and every one of the people who were apart of her family, and after losing my grandma and grandpa, it was a comfort knowing that Elvie was still here to tell stories and bring back the olden day adventures.\u00a0 Elvie was the second youngest child in her family of 14 children and was the last surviving member of that generation.\u00a0\u00a0 Her passing has ended the firsthand story tellings, there will be no more of us sitting around listening and having our minds transformed back into the years before.\u00a0 when I was in Saskatchewan in August I visited with her twice, she was in the hospital, and she spent our time together telling of the yesteryears, me sitting on her bed soaking it all in, I could see the love and joy in her eyes as she talked away and looked at me.<\/p>\n

Before I said goodbye to her knowing in my heart it would be the last time, she held onto my hand for a good 10 minutes and said to me \u201cSarina I hope you find all you want in life, and continue to be happy, you are amazing and don\u2019t forget that.\u201d\u00a0 I will cherish those words for the rest of my life.<\/p>\n

Aunty Elvie was the most kind, loving, joyful, loving woman, I am so sad to say goodbye, however I find comfort knowing what when she entered heaven she was greeted by her 13 siblings, her parents, her husband, my grandparents and all the other people she loved in her life, I can just imaging the welcoming as she walked through those gates, the smiles on all their faces and the hugs that were given. They would have thrown the best party better than any they had down here on earth, all while welcoming her to her eternal home.\u00a0 From this day forward they can hangout, play cards, and dance the days away.<\/p>\n

I love you so much Aunty Elvie and I will miss you forever.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
