(as you can tell I was not a fan of his). But I am so thankful to all of you that didn't allow my fathers behaviour and lack of any upstanding qualities get in the way of meeting who we were. So many are now gone... :( Jimmy I am asking, no in fact begging you not to let us slip away from a possibly wonderful relationship, because time is short and only God holds the end of chances to become a great family with who we have left.<br />and by the way it is the "wife" in my family pictures. and as soon as I get the scanner fixed I will send you the photos.<br /><br />Gone but never forgotten.<br />Uncle Tommy, Auntie(Ba )Retzie, Aunt Anna, The Crazy cousins Dorothy, and Patty, (I am still amazed at how such "two old coots :) " could hold their weed. And of course Course Cousin Joey....You are all missed<br /><br />Uncle Jimmy .... We are just waiting and hoping that someday soon you will realize regardless of genetics....Were a good group of loving people that are worth getting to know :)Cousin Debbienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329973.post-12045577990501561292012-04-16T23:57:34.531-04:002012-04-16T23:57:34.531-04:00Tomorrow would have been Dorothy's birthday-- ...Tomorrow would have been Dorothy's birthday-- big sigh. <br /><br />I read the Obit-- Thank for including the link.

Ahh, what a dear lady to make her arrangements without a word to anyone, she knew what she wanted, and didn't see fit to trouble anyone with it. I know she made a large mark on this world, and will be much missed. I'm glad the service provided comfort to those who loved her.

She is a fine lady...leaving behind memories that are for always. <br /> I love "On Eagle's Wings." I play it on the piano sometimes when our pastor is praying. The words have deep meaning and the melody is one that touches the heart of all who hear it. Thinking about the love that an eagle has for her young as it is learning to fly...picturing her soaring very near to it and catching it on her strong wings when the need arises evokes something deep inside me...knowing our Father does that for us. <br /> I wanted to also say that I am thankful that Ms. Dorothy's caregiver that she loved so much was at the funeral...and also Ms. Eddy. God bless them.<br /> The article is wonderful. Ms. Dorothy's love for creatures that were less fortunate than others will live on. Thank you, Ms. Eddy.<br /> The cat in the parking lot: a precious sighting. <br /> Hugs and love to you and your family, Jim.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214796594702277709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329973.post-6366610293037682432012-04-10T11:41:25.170-04:002012-04-10T11:41:25.170-04:00I don't believe in coincidence.
