  • I will miss the good times that we had

    but they are all written in my heart and my mind.

    At Uncle Matt's House 11-28-09 (55)

    My very beautiful sister and myself on the morning that she and her family left to go back to Virginia.  We may be geographically apart but I found out that we are as close as sisters should be in heart and mind.  I love you Suzanne.

    My youngest brother Matthew in a pose that I have held in my mind for many a year.  The men-folk of this family make some damn fine jazz.

    This is just a small sampling of the pictures taken and of all the people that were there.  My parents have 54 grandchildren, 5 great grandchildren with two on the way along with their own 8 children plus 6 daughters in-law and 2 sons in-law.  That is one big family and growing each year.
