The Circle of Life

Dear Eleanor,

Yesterday was a sad day.  We had to say goodbye to your great-great Aunt Connie.  She was a wonderful lady, and although you only met her once, I know she loved you and your brother bunches and bunches.  I took you with me to the funeral because we are a package-deal.  You were a very good girl, and more importantly, I think you made everyone feel a little bit better with your bright eyes and wide smiles. 

Love,

Mommy
