Family Pictures

Me and Uncle Mike, circa mid 80's

My Uncle Mike, Mom's last living sibling, passed away recently.  He lovingly shared his place on Captain Morgan Drive with extended family many, many times.  We all have great memories of being there with him.  He will be missed!

Since other family members were not able to attend the funeral, I took photos of my extended family and shared them with the Wilczynskis.  I also took some photos and am using this blog to share them with you.

Uncle Mike and Aunt LeAnn had three daughters, Terri, Sally, and Christie.

Terri is married to Jim Huston and they have two sons Michael and Thomas.

Sally's husband, Dave, is deceased.  They have daughter Tracey and twins Kevin and Kristin.  Both daughters also have children.

Kristie has one daughter.

I have an Uncle Frank (brother of Pearl) and Aunt Lucille who are both deceased.  I met their two sons, Raymond and Richard, a few times when they were small children.  I was delighted to connect with them at Uncle Mike's funeral.

The only other two living cousins I have on this side of the family are Uncle Jerry's two daughters, Teresa and Barb.  (Son, Ted, is deceased.)  They were not at the funeral, but I saw them a year ago at Christopher Tourek's wedding.

My cousin Jerry Williams (paternal side of my family) lived in the same neighborhood as Uncle Mike, and they became friends.

Peggy and Jerry were both at the funeral.

Just this week Jerry posted a few family pics on Facebook.  Missy Showalter was on work assignment in Omaha, so she asked folks to join her for dinner.  This side of the family is all from my Dad's brother's kids.  The cousins are Jack Williams, Jerry Williams, Danny Williams, Jeff Williams and Missy Showalter.

Danny's kids:Megan, Cody, Casey, Scott, Amanda and Tim Williams.  To the best of my knowledge, all of this family is in, or near, Fritch, Texas.

As time passes, the family tree gets harder to follow.  This blog should help any of you who are interested in genealogy, or perhaps just keeping track of the relatives.
