Happy Birthday Libby.

[Catherine]

I am so sorry about your aunt. That does put a shadow over everything right now. I understandhaving someone who helped raise you. For me it was my father's  mother. It is hard to lose the person who shaped your life so much. She will always feel close to you and years from now you will still  do things the way she taught you.
It was good of your employer to let you have the time off.

Hopefully next year things will be back to normal and you will really be able to celebrate your birthday.
