I got the call later in the summer....she had been having some issues and stomach problems. By the time they got her to the hospital, she needed surgery, but she didn't want to have surgery. She kept telling everyone that she wanted to go home...home to 501 Herring...where she lived for as long as I can remember. She told her grandson that is all she wanted to do.....and she did. Towards the end of her service, the reverand said that there would be a slight deviation for the procession to the cemetery. My Aunt's house was just down the road from the cemetery and as such, we would be passing by it enroute. My Aunt's house sat on a corner and had a drive way that you could enter from either the front or on one side of the house. So as to honor her final request, the hearse was to pull in the back drive and pull up alongside the house and would sit for a few minutes before proceeding to the cemetery. So she got to go home.....She now rests next to her mother, my Grandma in Elliott Grove Cemetery, one of the nicest cemeteries I have ever been in. I miss you Aunt Wilma....
A side note....our house numbers are the same as my aunts was, just in different order....and when my cousin Carolyn asked me if there was anything I wanted that had been my Aunt's....I told her the house numbers. When she realized that we had the same numbers, just different order, she pried them off herself and I plan on using them on our house as soon as we are done remodeling.
