Lighting a candle for "Aunt Liz", who's name is actually Anita. She was married to my Uncle Richard, and had a difficult life, mostly because of him. After he died some years ago, she cut off any contact with remaining family, and I would see her sometimes in the grocery store, but she never acknowledged me.
Had she been a child today, I'm pretty sure she would have been diagnosed as having Asperger's, she was very socially awkward, and he was a tyrant to her and to their 2 boys, leaving the daughter be. Their son Erich is in this area still, I saw him 3-4 years ago, he calls my mom occasionally to check in. There has been no obituary published, and as far as I know, any service will just be the 2 sons, their daughter left Ohio when she turned 18 and never looked back. The sons are in their 50's.
