my aunt has passed away

My aunt (Emo/이모) is on the left; Mom is the next one over, being hugged by a friend from the Korean-American Women's Society (KAWS). The pic was taken in December of 2009; Mom is wearing a wig in that pic, and the glioblastoma had spread to both sides of her brain by that time. Mom was unable to talk as a result, but Dad says she enjoyed the Christmas party and, when she came home, didn't want to take the wig off her head. She'd had to suffer a lot of indignities while she was dying, and now, years later, her big sister has finally joined her. If there's a heaven, I hope they're happy to see each other again.
I just got the news that my aunt, Mom's big sister, passed away less than five hours ago.
