Sweet dreams

We bid Tot farewell on Monday.

Robert's aunt -- Leah Augusta, formally, but known with love as 'Gusta, Tot, Tata, Totsie -- was the last in her league.

Her sisters were the Paumega Girls -- Pauline, Mary Elizabeth and Augusta -- the family anchors. Summers at Tall Timber, cocktails with Nonny, wife of Big Bob, mother of Amy and Bob, dear friend of Amanda and John.

She visited John in his later days, until she herself wandered into Alzheimer's labyrinth, and we could laugh with her only in memories and dreams.

Sleep well.
