With the Beloveds

I had to take a break from the blog, plus I had a problem with my computer....We had the Head Family Reunion on August 5th, 2006..it was wonderful...About 85 people, all family, were in attendance....Juanita Blanche Head Merritt, my beloved Aunt Sister, my daddy's last living blood relative of his generation, came to the reunion for a few hours..she was the reason it was held, so the family could be with her one last time. We really enjoyed being together.. all but a few of the cousins were there. I will write more about it soon. Aunt Sister died September 4th, 2006, peacefully, of congestive heart failure, at her home, surrounded by loved ones...she was 85 years old...she had told me not to be sad, that she had lived a good and full life with much joy and much sorrow, that that is the way it is supposed to be, as there is a time for everything, a time to be born and a time to die, that all things have a beginning and an end, and she would be with all the beloveds that had gone before but were never forgotten..... Her belief that she would be with the beloveds brought Aunt Sister great peace.
