In the last five days, Heaven received two new residents. My Aunt Orpha passed from this life to the next on Sunday; my Aunt Sybil joined her family in Heaven early this morning. Orpha and Sybil were my grandmother's sisters. Aunt Sybil and Grandma Gladys were best friends growing up and as adults. Many times, they lived near each other and their children grew up together. Aunt Orpha moved out west long before I was born so I didn't get to know her as well. My knowledge of her is through comments made by her children and other family members. She, along with all the other Findleys, loved to laugh and talk. Oh, what a reunion Heaven is having tonight!! I'm sure God is loving seeing His children meeting again on the other side. Out of the fifteen children my great-grandmother had, only four are still here. My thoughts and prayers go out to them: Opal, Helen, Margie and Ted; along with Aunt Orpha and Aunt Sybil's families. Your sweet spirits and laughter will be missed for a time but we WILL see you again on the other side. LOVE YOU!!!
