Sheila Thompson, nee Capaloff - 1928-2008
It is difficult to write too much about her. In truth, my Aunt was not here for a couple of years now. The old, very much smaller shell of what was once her, passed on the morning of New Year’s Day, leaving my Mother as, as she put it, “the last of the 6”. This was a reference to the fact that my Dad, his older Brother, his younger Sister and both of their spouses, are all gone now.I do have some very happy memories of my Aunt, but she was not a happy person, so the thought lingers that death for her, was a release; or perhaps her body joining her already departed mind. And for my cousins, the mixed feelings: They have lost their Mom, but no longer have to endure the pain of visiting a woman who long since stopped knowing that they were her kids.
This picture shows her with my Mum, last June. She had visited me for my 50th birthday, and I wanted her to have the chance to say goodbye to her Sister-in-law.
