While relatives, neighbors, friends, are all sad and astonished for the departure of aunt Elner, she flies away......
In a world of Beatitude, In Heaven talking with Dorothy and also trying to eat a piece of caramel cake. Oh well Dorothy had a radio program once and aunt Elner in the remote past didn't lose any Dorothy's show. This lady gave suggestions to the housewives, with great tips, advice, wonderful recipes. Of course she is dead. Like also Ginger Rogers and Edison. Two wonderful people. Aunt Elner is never worried for being there or for being dead or because she left her relatives and friends. She starts to be comfy with Dorothy and her caramel cake...But her trip to Earth is not yet finished....
The book needs to be discovered. I would be seriously tempted of telling to you more. Let's say that aunt Elner and her ulterior passage back to the Earth will (again) change for better the existence of all her dear ones.
At the end what we can simply do, is to add the well Heavenly Caramel Cake offered by Dorothy to aunt Elner in Paradise.
