On the 18th November 2022, my oft-mentioned Aunt
Marion died. She was ninety-four years old, and had been in declining health
for a while. At the funeral, we met countless other family who, like myself and
Cat, had been raised by our Aunt from an early age.
She is also the only person I’ve ever met, who left strict
sealed instructions to her local parish priest in advance of her own death.
Those instructions were that her funeral was not to be all about her.
