Today, the White Family (which includes all the Egans) gave a fond farewell tribute to a great lady, Elvira Charlotte Robbins White. She was 95 years old. She was our Aunt, neighbor, chauffeur, caretaker, mentor and friend for our entire childhood. She was one of a very few who was willing to invite the Egans (all 13 of us) to Thanksgiving dinner. She drove us everywhere. We all loved her spaghetti and hot dog dish served on summer holidays, her chocolate cake and most of all her selfless service to all. The above photo was taken at the annual White family flag ceremony held every May to commemorate the love for country inherent in our family heritage. Elvira, though an in-law, was the greatest patriot of all. The closing song at her services was America the Beautiful. We all miss you Aunt Elvira. We hope your reunion with Uncle Verdi is joyous. We know it will be a barrel,of fun. Say hello to our dad for us. We are getting together as a family to celebrate his 94th birthday tonight.
