THX in advance for the link to writing tips and the interactive teaching/learning hoo-ha that's in the works - hmmm, curiouser and curiouser. Anyway, since we housescribes share a morbid fascination with obits like you, there is an AP piece today (Stratford CT) that may find its way to the obits, likely sans details. A woman reported missing for two days was found dead under a pile of laundry. Her husband, bless his male soul, got up and thought she had gone for a walk. After work later that night he decided to call the police, they got a warrant and found her on the bed stricken by ?? that caused her to collapse into a rack of laundry. Two days?? Was he missing his favorite shirt? Marion, I wish I had a biological sister….but finding you ( and how did I ever garden without Margaret !)and your community of Sisters, well….che bellissima!

In fact, my mother was one of four sisters, I am one of four sisters, and then.... I had four daughters. None of these daughter, however, has kept up this family tendency. Can I send you an old photo... that's worth a thousand words? Regardless, thanks for your project. Do not have a website … but do have sister stories.
