Hmm...  Now I constantly wonder if I only call my mother Mommy 
because that's what I called her when she died and I would have 
stopped calling her that eventually, or if I would still be calling 
her that now anyway.  I mean, I still call my dad Daddy - and when 
his father was 96 and he was 66, he called him Daddy, too.  And it 
doesn't sound right (to me) to say Mom and Daddy, so I have to go 
with choice number two.

her aunts on her mother's side Auntie Such-and-Such and her aunts on 
her father's side Aunt So-and-So)
