Big Mama

This week my Great Aunt Stella passed away. She was my Grandmother's sister and a big part of my early childhood. I would come down to Houston every summer and spend several weeks in Houston with my Grandmother. A big part of that time was going to Fulshear and seeing my cousins Tad, Mindy, Mandy, Beth, Janet and Leigh Jr. I would go to Fulshear and stay with the Pecks and pretty much every day we would go to Big Mama's house (Aunt Stella) to have meals and swim in their pool. I do not see them very much any more so getting to see everyone at the funeral home was both very nice and very sad. It is unfortunate that life tends to pull extended families apart and that either weddings or funerals start to become the only reason that you see them. Here's to hoping the next reason is a wedding!
