Our friend Sara won't be there. We hadn't seen her for three Sundays in a row which was very unusual. I asked around, but no one seemed to know anything definitive.
Then last month the club president answered an e to tell me that she had died -- and the memorial service had been the Friday before. I was sorry because we would have gone - Sara didn't have a lot of family (as far as I could tell.) Her most-often named relative was a nephew. Her husband had died some 20 years previously and while they had no children, they did have a much-beloved (and well fed) cat. We compared photos (pretend you didn't read that.)
She was smart, very can do and had a good sense of humor. It will be a reflex to walk in this afternoon and look for her. No slight figure, no black hair up in a '40s bun - no welcoming smile.
RIP, Sara.
