I learned with sadness last night of Aunt Delores's passing. Being so far away and out of touch for so long I have just a few memories of her but they are clear and I think about them from time to time. I remember a van pulling up in our driveway in Warren, Rhode Island when I was about 7 years old or so. It had Missouri plates. With uncle Sonny at the helm and aunt Delores riding shotgun, we all piled in and headed out for the 1,200 or so mile drive to Desoto. Uncle Sonny had built a bed in the back so we could all take turns sleeping. I remember their kindness and making us feel like family even though up to that point we hadn't met. Aunt Delores convinced me that raw hotdogs "are already cooked" and it was safe to eat them. I must have had about 20 or so raw hotdogs during that trip and enjoyed every one of them. She had a great laugh, was cheerful and happy to be where she was doing whatever she was doing at the time. Once we got to Desoto we had a great time - swimming in the creek and grilling, our grandfather cooking us oatmeal, learning about baseball from cousin Ronnie, and listening to cousin Gary's 8 track tape of Bachman Turner Overdrive. It was a great adventure for a young boy and one that will stay with me. Wishing you all the peace of Christ during this time and thinking of you all. God Bless.
