Reflections - Aunt Jane

 

Flowering Marsh Marigold

 

Jane Kressel

March 30, 1922 - February 18, 2014 

Because I had an Aunt Jane, friends in the Jane Austen society considered me lucky. But they didn’t realize how fortunate I was with MY Aunt Jane.

She welcomed me to her house ad introduced me to sunsets on Presque Isle. She kept all the cards and pictures I sent her. She gave Dad directions to the emergency room when I slammed my finger in the car door. And she had a sense of humor with a loving accepting smile that would change a cloudy day to sunshine.

Spence and I planted two marsh marigolds—flowers with sunny yellow blooms—in her memory.
