I lived into the same building as my mother my first year of college, in
an apartment on the floor above her.
Then when I moved back here I stayed at her place about a month until I
found an apartment.

Sissy was 25 years my senior (father's first marriage) and more of an
aunt than a sister. She had been on her own for years, married and separated,
etc.
She only lived with the family that time from 1958-63. She moved to the
DC area in November, 1963, and other than a Christmas card that year never
hear from her again. Until I read her obit a few years ago.

His son Chuck has been married to the same woman for about 40 years.
His daughter married once and a widow since '01.
