Dear Sweet Great Aunt

I think it was Brigit (someone correct me if I'm mistaken) on the old Boreds who once posted a cool obituary that she had read in the newspaper. Here's a sweet obit I saw this morning (I assume it's written by Jane, because she's mentioned three times):

Margaret Jane Peffley, 89, dear, sweet great-aunt of Jane Brittain, left her earthly vessel and received her angel wings at 2:02 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 15, 2006, at St. Vincent Hospital, Indianapolis. Aunt Margaret passed into the arms of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, peacefully surrounded by her beloved great-niece, Jane, and her great-great-niece, Candee Anderson. Aunt Margaret married Uncle Rocky, “Roscoe” Peffley, on Aug. 9, 1939, and he preceded her in death on June 15, 1989.She is survived by her great-niece, Jane and husband George Brittain, Kokomo; great-great-niece, Candee and husband Ron Anderson, Kokomo; great-great-nephews, Todd and wife Shari Brittain and Blair and wife Elise Brittain; and several nieces and nephews.Earth hath no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal. No services or visitation is planned. Goodwin Funeral Home, Frankfort, is in charge of arrangements. In lieu of flowers, the family request that you love one another, forgive each other and always do what is good and pleasing in the eyes of God.


She's not my dear sweet old Aunt, but here's to you, Margaret Jane!
