Aunt Gertie

I didn't know Aunt Gertie much. She was married to my dad's brother, Bob. She died when I was about 8 years old. She was sick a lot.

Uncle Paul and cousin Tammy

Tammy was real young when she died in a freak accident in 2001 (not sure on the date). While at a stop sign, a tree fell on her car and killed her.

Here is Aunt Dea, Uncle Paul and my mom. Uncle Paul died after an almost successful attempt to cure his leukemia. He had had a bone marrow transplant and was on the road to recovery when something else happened to him...maybe a heart ache, I'm not sure. He was my mom's brother.

Aunt Rea and Uncle Ernie

Both of them died way too young. Either made it to see 52. Uncle Ernie died of cancer in the late 70s/early 80s. Aunt Marie was killed by a drunk driver in 1983. Aunt Rea made the best fried chicken.

Gramma and Grampa S

Not sure when they were born but Grampa died in 1987 and Gramma in 1992 (I think)

Gramma And Grampa D

Grampa D - 1897 - 1965; I didn't know Grampa very well, he died before I was five years old. I barely remember him.
Gramma D 1897 - 1994; I was very close to Gramma D. I loved her so much. She was such a wonderful Gramma. I miss her very much. She died the same day as Jackie O; 12 years before my mom (same day)

Mom and Dad




Mom 1935 - 2006
Dad 1930 - 2009
