August 12, 1980 Aunt Estelle wrote

Tues. Hot, clear.     I was up to Jennings early & late.  Went for milk and over to Va Shuler's.  This eve we went to Mac Graham's funeral.  Later I delivered a lot of dishes that was brought in. 


Footnote:  Jennings is her brother who lives up the road.  Virginia Shuler is her cousin, neighbor and good friend.  They shared all their books as they were both avid readers.  Mac Graham was a neighbor .   I wonder if those are empty dishes she is delivering back to the people who brought them to the house during the funeral.  Everybody would bring some kind of food to the home when a person in the house had passed away.  It was for all the family that was gathered.  And it was the best food you could get.
