This picture was taken at my Great Grandpa's

92nd birthday party, December 17, 1972.

It was to be my grandpa's last Christmas.  

He died July 25, 1973.  He was 62.

My great grandpa died February 1974, at age 93.

Aunt Fay died on her birthday in 1988, age 78.

Uncle Jack passed away February 2014, age 94.

This was the sign for the family

orchard business.

I remember several of these pictures at 

Uncle Jack and Aunt Eula's.

Some of Uncle Jack's World War II

display.

Both of my mom's parents were the oldest 
child in their families.  They were both
born in 1910, and the youngest child in
each family was born in 1920.  Grandpa had
1 brother and 1 sister.  Grandma had 1 brother
and 4 sisters.  So, my mom was the oldest
grandchild on her dad's side, and 2nd to
oldest on her mom's side.
This is my mom with Susan and Aunt Eula.
Susan is their oldest child. 

I call this picture

"The Three Nephites."

Sheila is married to Carl.

 Carl is Uncle Jack's son.

They always looked after grandma. 

 This is my mom's cousin, Cliff.  He is

Carl's twin brother.

Always love cemetery military honors!
