After a long illness, my aunt Judy, my Mum’s sister, died yesterday. She was 78. August 2010, Judy collapsed at her home and was unable to walk. The rumored diagnosis was secondary tumors from breast cancer in her spine, but I don’t know if that was ever confirmed. Judy was 15 months younger than my Mum and survived her by 11 months. Both Moscow sisters, as my uncle called them, are very much missed by their daughter/niece.
