Our Aunt Anna Golden will always hold a special place in our hearts.  She had a wonderful gift for spreading joy and love...SHE was a beautiful person, every time we saw her we could count on her stating in her Chinese accent, "you so beautiful...such a beautiful family".  The most touching and well done eulogy was given by Aunt Camille who has a profound talent for writing and speaking.  Many of the questions we had about Anna's mysterious past were answered and made us respect her all the more.  It was not so much a day of sorrow as it was a day of celebrating Anna's life.  With a deep appreciation for Irish music, probably born from the Irish heritage she married into, she and Uncle Pat were active in the Center for Irish Music.  A group of members joined us at the amazing St. Mary's Basilica in Minneapolis and played some of her favorite tunes.  Even Uncle Pat played his violin for a bit at the luncheon.  We believe she was smiling and dancing along as she always had, now in a better place.  

~Whenever an Irish melody fills the air, we will fondly remember you, Aunt Anna.
