My aunt Vickie probably voted a few weeks ago in the Virginia primaries. I know that if she did, she voted for either Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton, because she would never vote for a Republican. I don't know which one she voted for, because I never got a chance to ask her. She passed away Saturday night in Virginia, and we buried her here in Georgia beside her husband and infant son this morning.
    If you'll come with me over the jump, I'll tell you a little more about her life, her death, and what it means to me in this political season.
