Not good news

I really hate relaying news like this........... Yesterday my mother called with bad news. My favorite aunt died the day before. She always had a way with adhoc little touches to make the day/meal/event meaningful. One of these, Aunt Harriet potatoes, is still a family favorite. She was the wife of an 'unsung hero' my uncle Forrest. He was in the 'Band of Brothers' group. His part was written out of the mini-series mainly because it was so small in the original book. He could be found in the pictures, the recipient of Captain Winters' letters and in the personal stories at the end of the original book. Small in stature as in most of my mothers family but a very big man in my eyes. Soft spoken, warm and caring. Days spent at their house or cabin on the lake are very memorable to me. I never knew of his involvement in the war. He never spoke of it to the womenfolk. My aunt was a southern bred lady who had a way to make everyone feel comfortable and wanted, even when she was genteelly chiding you, will be very much missed.

How does one make a graceful exit after news like this? AK in PA
