I think with a lot of fondness and a smile of Aunt Mildred - grateful for having known her. Hopefully the quotes below provide some comfort.
"And now concerning thy question regarding the soul of man and its survival after death. Know thou of a truth that the soul, after its separation from the body, will continue to progress until it attaineth the presence of God, in a state and condition which neither the revolution of ages and centuries, nor the changes and chances of this world, can alter.
It will endure as long as the Kingdom of God, His sovereignty, His dominion and power will endure." ~ Baha'u'llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah, p. 155
A woman, full of sorrow and despair, came to 'Abdu'l-Baha: "I pray you remove my doubt, and give me consolation, I have lost my beloved husband."
The Master answered her:
If you have a bed of lilies-of-the-valley that you love and tenderly care for, they cannot see you, nor can they understand your care, nevertheless, because of that tender care, they flourish.
So it is with your husband. You cannot see him, but his loving influence surrounds you, cares for you, watches over you.
They, who have passed into the Divine Garden, pray for us there, as we pray for them here."
~ Lady Blomfield, The Chosen Highway, p. 215
