Aunt Rowena

I received a call from my Great Uncle Gauin on Thursday early afternoon letting me know that his youngest sister (16 years younger), my Great Aunt Rowena, had passed away unexpectedly.  Very unexpectedly.  She would turn 75 later this year and was very active in many sports...softball, golf, tennis, etc.  You would never know she was going to be 75 and she definitely didn't look it!  I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to get to know her over the last few years, but I sure do wish there would have been more of them!  She was a great person, and I'm going to miss her terribly.
