Aunt Sally

In this picture is Aunt Emily (sisters) and Aunt Sally is on the right.







I was listening to this song on the radio and it reminded me of Aunt Sally so this is dedicated to her.



I grew up in Newport R.I. Almost all of my family on my mom's side still live there. My Aunt Sally is actually my great Aunt. She has eight children, Stephen her son died when I was young but seven of them live in R.I. We used to stay at their house when we were younger so we have been around them our whole lives.

This picture the sisters were just hanging out. My daddy had just died and this was the reception at mom's house. Aunt Sally was 95 years old. She is amazing. Aunt Sally still plays Bingo three times a week. Just a few years ago she gave up her car. Can you imagine 95 and still driving lol


We have a family Reunion every year and Aunt Sally is always the life of the party
She is the type of person you want to have around. She is happy and care free.....
A while back she had cancer in her mouth and had it operated on and when she woke up she wanted to listen to the baseball game on the radio. She was the only one who wasn't worried about it. She is a huge Red Sox Fan.


She has her own apt. which is in her daughter in laws house, she checks on Aunt Sally
and cooks for her. Her children drive her around and my mom takes her to Bingo. She has always done for herself but now (for obvious reasons)they look after her.You helped us out when we were younger and loved us and you have been a wonderful friend to mom. You are loved and adored by many so I want to take this time to say how Blessed I am to be a part of this wonderful family. Aunt Sally, I love you and I know we are better because of you.

God willing I'll see you in August. God Bless, Maureen
