Peace at Last

I wanted to let you all know that Aunt Noreen is finally at peace. She passed away today. Luckily, Mom, Marge and Vron got to visit her yesterday. They had gotten a call that Noreen wasn't doing well and had not had anything to eat or drink for 6 days.

On Sunday night, Uncle George told Noreen he was going to go home and get some clothes so he could spend the night with her. He told her to squeeze his hand if she understood, and she did. That was the one of the very few times she responded to anyone in a long time.

No details on visitation or funeral yet, but I will pass those on as I get them. Please say a prayer for the family, and also thank God for welcoming Noreen home and giving her peace.

Love you all,
R

Link to aunt Noreen's obit. What a wonderful woman. I agree her food was as awesome as her warm personality. I don't know about the rest of you but her lasagna casserole is on my menu for the weekend(it's in the O'Connell cookbook.
