I got word today that the last of my mother's siblings died Jan 12.
Uncle Ben was quite estranged from the family. I don't know if he and mother ever really made up. I know she wanted to.
He was almost 88, so it was indeed a long-lived generation. He and Aunt Dolores lived in Chicago and had three adopted children. I only met one of them when she was a toddler. One of them lives in No. Virginia and is with the Pentagon.
It is very sad that we do not know each other.
If I am correct, I am the oldest living member in my generation.
