Three months after we celebrated aunty's 100th birthday, she passed away on June 30, 2016. When I saw her in March, she was so healthy in both body and mind that I expected her to live for another 5 years, if not 10. I had become so fond of her that her unexpected passing sent me into a period of such sadness that I couldn't even write about it for four months.
She was the last surviving child of Charles Stanley Braine and Engracia Nonis, so her passing is the end of an era. More than that, her memories-rich and detailed-of a happy childhood, her humor, optimism, and good cheer, enriched all our lives. I miss her very much, and grieve.
One question haunts me? Did she die of a broken heart?
