My dear Aunt Angela completed her journey here on earth, today. She was my father's sister and the oldest surviving carrier of the family genes. She was a wonderful woman having 7 sons (and a stepson). She was smart, she was immensely funny, she was as sharp as a pin. In later years, however, her sight was failing as we some of her organs. At 93, she had completed a solid innings. Her sons were with her when she passed away and she will be dreadfully missed by all of the family.
That means that I am now the oldest carrier of the family genes and de facto patriarch. I just need to get all of my cousins to swear obeisance and agree to raise an army should I so require it.
