Such a handsome man to me!
| Mama and Daddy at my wedding 23 years ago |
|
|
| Mama died May 11, 1998, Daddy died Sept. 17, 2002 |
My mother was the picture of poise, grace and dignity! She was the most wonderful woman I have ever known, or ever
will know. She taught me everything I know now, and showed me what it was to love unconditionally. The only
thing she never could teach me, or pass on to me was her love of sewing, and all kinds of crafts. I have no patience
for that. I got some of my daddy in me too! :) Mama died of lung cancer May 11, 1998 at the age of 54.
She was, is and always will be my inspriation to be a better person.
Daddy was a good, kind loving man. He would give the shirt off his back to anyone in need. He never had much
money, and always worried about us having things we wanted while growing up, but we had our family and lots of love.
Thats all we needed. Daddy worked hard all his life, but his greatest accomplishment was the selfless giving of himself
to others. He had a heart of gold. Daddy died Sept 17, 2002 of lung cancer, at the age of 61. He will always
live in my heart.
I miss them both so much, and I know someday I will see them again, in Heaven!
| Tommy, his Mom and Dad, and brothers and sister |

Tommy's family is truely one of a kind. He still has his mama and daddy, and he and his 3 brothers and sister will
visit them almost daily. They are such a close family, and as far as I know, never had any kind of harsh word for the
others. They all have children and some grandchildren of their own now too, and it makes holidays very interesting,
and loud to say the least. I love them all so much!
| My brother, his wife and three girls |
|
|
| Preston, MaryJo, Bethany, Hannah and Emily |
My brother is Preston, and he is 7 years younger than me. He is married to Mary Jo, and they have 3 girls, Bethany
8, Hannah 5 and Emily 3. We are very close, especially since our parents are both dead and all we have is each other.
I love them all so much. Beth is just like her mother, and very tenderhearted. Hannah is tenderhearted too, but
too sweet for her own good, and then there is Emily, the one they call Melanie Jr., or sometimes bullmoose! lol
She is very headstrong, and stubborn. They are all so precious and loved very much!
