Of course, she has living relatives, and we know some names but haven&#8217;t been in touch with many of them for quite a while. Margaret&#8217;s sister was older than her by nearly 19 years. In consequence, Margaret&#8217;s has nieces and nephews who were only a few years younger than her. Benje is only a few years younger than Cathy and me but he&#8217;s Dorothy&#8217;s generation. He came to visit Cathy&#8217;s family once and Cathy and I met him when we lived in Alaska, but it&#8217;s been more than 30 years. We were very happy to have him and his wife visit us for a few days this week. We had a really good time talking about the family, looking at old pictures, and basically getting to know each other.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most people have relatives of one sort or another.
