My great aunt.
She was my grandmother Mable (1926-2004) older sister. Their brother James Durant died in 2001 I believe or 2002. My grandmother met her demise in 2004, and now “Nanny” in 2007. Their mother passed in 1999 “Memo”.

If the media can make a big hoopla over a horse then surely I can complain about pointless things such as Wendy’s changing it’s price on the junior bacon cheeseburger.
