My Mother-in-law, Josie, pasted away January 24th. She was 95+ years old. Of all of our family members, she was the last of that generation - The Greatest Generation that saw the USA through World War II. They were children during the Great Depression and participations in some way, shape or manner, in WWII.
My father had 5 siblings. They and all of their spouses are gone.
My mother had 2 siblings. They and all of their spouses are gone.
Tina's father had 2 siblings. They and all of their spouses are gone.
Tina's mother had 8 siblings. They and all of their spouses are gone.
That is a total of 42 relatives (not counting that some of our Aunts and/or Uncles had more than one spouse) that have passed on and left their marks on this world. I believe they left this world a better place than they found it. I grieve not just for Josie, but for ALL of that generation. They have done so much for us.
