Thanks Chris! LOL, well, she was a heck of a card player and she had an identical twin sister. I guess in the old days before TVs they spent a lot of time playing hearts or canasta, gin and bridge. When my mom and aunt would team up as partners they could read each other’s minds it seemed and they would hardly ever lose. When we had big family gatherings and the cards would come out the first rule
spoken was “Joan and June gotta be on separate teams!’

Haha that’s fantastic. Is her twin sister still with us?

She is. She was able to be there in the hospital with her when mom passed. This happened in the Austin area. I was there too until I had to fly back last
night. My brother contacted me with the news.

Here’s another one. My dad started dating my aunt June before my mom. They went on a date and June wasn’t really interested in him but my mom Joan was. So when my dad called June for a second date she said yes but sent my mom in her place. About half way through the date he figured it out ! 😝. The rest is history.

That is a wonderfully crazy story. I love it!

My deepest condolences!
