Birthday Memories

On Feb. 28, 1930, my little sister was born. She was such a wonderful person growing up and every one that knew her loved her. In 1947 she married Junior and together they had a little baby boy. In 1957, at the age of 27 she died from a damaged heart. If she could have held on a little longer they could have fixed it. A lot has changed in fifty four years.
This is her senior high school picture. I wonder how she would look now at the age of 81. We miss you sis and think of you often.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NOTA (LOU)

Ninety years ago today, a baby girl was born. She was named Nota Alene. She was to grow up into a wonderful person. She married John R.. They had two wonderful children and she is a grandmother of four grandsons.
We all love you Nota and wish you a very Happy Birthday today. You are truly blessed to live to be this great age in life. God Bless you.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WENDELL

Today is Wendell's birthday. He is my brother-in-law.
I just wanted to wish him a happy birthday and I hope it was a good one and he is feeling good. This is a picture made on their 60th. wedding anniversary.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNT EUNICE

Today is the birthday of Eunice. She is one of my mother's youngest sisters. We had a sing along with her yesterday and sang her favorite songs. I think she really did enjoy herself. This picture was taken in Jan 2011 one day when we played 42 with her at her home where she lives now. God has blessed her with many years, and she is a blessing to many. Her family, her many friends and all who know her. You are very special Eunice and we all love you.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAMI

Guess what, today is Kami's birthday. She is my great-granddaughter and I am very proud of her. This picture was taken back in October. Such a cutie, I wanted to share it.





This picture was taken in December, my how she is growing. Kami is the granddaughter of my oldest son and the daughter of my oldest grandchild and she is my oldest great-grandchild. That is a lot of oldests. :) I am told that her parents took her to Showgun for her birthday dinner, then she spent the night with Ganny and Pops. What a special little girl she is and I love her so very much.

Happy Birthday and remember that Mema loves you.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOPHIA GRACE
