I am 73 and lost my beautiful, funny, happily (today she would be called O..... BUT never a greater person. I lived with her on and off as a small child. She and her husband came from Russia and this was in the 1940s when I was with her. We would go to the movies (got a free dish in those days with a ticket). When to church (Russian Orthodox) Funny story to tell here because I am Roman Catholic and my age then was 6 in first grade Catholic School (wonder if anyone can guess what happened). Aunt passed in the 1950s and so did Uncle (forgot they were my Great, great aunt and uncle. To this day I miss them.
Well I rattled on too too much here.
I am so happy you will have wonderful memories to lead you through this sad time. My heartfelt prayers are with you and may the angels carry them to you.
