HAPPY BIRTHDAY PATRICK

Guess what, tomorrow is Patrick's 14th. birthday. Oh my gosh, when did he get so old.
He is no longer a spring chicken that is for sure. :) He is showing off his new glasses in this picture.

I hope you have a great day tomorrow Patrick and I look forward to sharing your cake with you on Saturday.

Love you bunches. Mema

BIRTHDAY MEMORIES

Today, Duane would have been eighty seven years old. How we miss him since he has been gone. Eleven years ago today he left us to wait for us in Heaven. The first picture was taken in 1944, when he went to the U. S. Army. The second picture was taken in 1972. The last one taken just one week before he died. We were attending a NARFE meeting and the speaker was Waggoner Car. He was talking about Jesse James and finding the correct grave for him. This is Jesse's hat Duane is wearing in the picture. I think every man there that day had his picture taken in the hat. You are much loved Duane Elmore Tallant.

Good morning Donnie, how are things in Heaven? We all miss you so much since you have been gone. Donnie was born 23 April 1933 to live on this earth, born with Spina Bifida, he was not expected to live very long. With tender loving care, spunk that few have, he lived until 28 April 1994. The doctors once said, it was tender loving care that allowed him to stay this long. He also was a strong, determined person that lived life as he found it. You were very much loved Donnie Ray Posey.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NIKITA

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY CHESTER AND MARTHA

On April 20, 1973 in Austin, Texas, Chester and Martha was married in the den of his parents home. It was a beautiful ceremony with family and friends. Thirty seven years ago, what a ride.

Pictured here with their granddaughter Kami, at their daughter's wedding on 20 March 2010. Kami marched her mom down the isle and gave her to Thomas.

We are very proud of you all, and wish you many more celebrations on 20 April in the future. Blessings to you all, I love you.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAREN

You probably can't see it, but it is snowing here in this picture. Karen married her dear friend on 20 March 2010. Just after the vows were made it started snowing. Here is her picture standing out in the snow in lower 30 degree weather.

But tomorrow is her birthday. That is the reason for this post. I want to wish her a very Happy Birthday and many, many more. Love you very much.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JONATHAN

Tomorrow is Jonathan's birthday. I want to wish him many happy days ahead and I hope it is a happy day for him.

Love you much,

Mema
