Everything changed when she died that summer, 2005. Holidays weren’t the same, especially Thanksgiving and Christmas. This is not a new story — people who have lost loved ones experience a variety of emotions at certain times of the year.
She loved Christmas. WE loved Christmas. She decorated over the years, but particularly with a Victorian flair after her retirement.
