When I was a small boy during WWII, I remember my beautiful Aunt Claire and her handsome husband, Tom. It seemed that everyone at that time had on a uniform. Tom looked particularly handsome in his. When I got married in 1965, Tom and Claire came all the way to Milwaukee, Wisconsin for the event. I always thought that was very thoughtful of them.
With the passing of Aunt Claire a generational era comes to a close. All those wonderful people are gone now. But, they will not be forgotten. My thoughts and prayers are with Aunt Claire's family and friends.
Love, Michael O'Connell
