050935 - 4. This of course is too lengthy for a professional service, but
050936 - may offer ideas for your work.
050938 - ..
050939 - 5. Just want to emphasize, that mother was a "war time" bride of
050940 - only 16. She had 6 kids by the time she was 22. I did not
050941 - grow up with my mother as "mom," but I very much appreciate
050942 - that her early life was a whirlwind driven by larger forces,
050943 - and that she lived a good life, always mindful of others, and
050944 - especially of her children.
050946 - ..
050947 - 6. There are three brothers, so 4 sons who survive mother.
050949 - ..
050950 - 7. Her two daughters, Stephanie and Kathleen, died several years
050951 - ago. Her oldest, Kathleen, died of lung cancer while living
050952 - with Mother and Bob. She had a horrible death drowning in her
050953 - own blood in the kitchen, when a blood vessel burst while doing
050954 - the dishes. Mother had to endure this experience. Call 911,
050955 - take her to the hospital, clean up the mess, notify everyone,
050956 - etc.
050958 - ..
050959 - 8. Mother's girls were always closest to her, and became lifetime
050960 - pals as adults. Losing her daughters was obviously a huge
050961 - blow.
050963 - ..
050964 - 9. Stephanie had two children, Jennifer, who is very charming, has
050965 - a son Alex. Mother was pleased to have a great grandson, and
050966 - enjoyed sending the little one cloths and things the past year.
050968 - ..
050969 - 10. Mother's niece, Robin, has been the solid foundation of their
050970 - household the past 10 years, and especially since Kathleen died
050971 - a few years ago. Robin has a strong religious faith, and is a
050972 - great delight.
050974 - ..
050975 - 11. I am the oldest son, age 61.
050977 - ..
050978 - 12. David is 3 years younger. He has three (3) wonderful children,
050979 - who are now making their way in the world. Unfortunately he
050980 - has distanced himself from the family. Do not have a phone
050981 - number for Dave.
050983 - ..
050984 - 13. Eddie is a year younger than Dave, age 57. His telephone
050985 - number is 916 366 3866 Kathy and Eddie have daughter Amy, who
050986 - is no about 30. Amy and her husband, Michael have two
050987 - children, so mother has quite a number of great grandchildren.
050989 - ..
050990 - 14. Jerry is the youngest in the family, age 52???
050992 - ..
050993 - 15. He is a Vietnam vet who saw a lot of combat, which impacts
050994 - people their whole life. He seems initially quite hardened,
050995 - yet once you break through, he has a big heart. Jerry has two
050996 - children, though I am not sure about all the circumstances.
050998 - ..
050999 - 16. Jerry has two phone numbers... 408 930 3971 and 408 255 7494
