uncle franks funeral


It was the middle of september in riverside california. My uncle frank was buried at the military cemetery. These young marines stood for a photo for us. It was such a rough day. Uncle Frank was the oldest of all my uncles and he was so young to have lost his life. He died exactly 2 weeks after Ricky's uncle died so in one month we had two losses. Uncle Reuben and Uncle Frank. Uncle Frank served in the army and was a proud military man. He was loved by all his family and is deeply missed by his daughter brittney and his ex wife valerie.. Rip Uncle Frank..

My family reunion after 5 years..


July of 2007 I was able to meet my mother in Redlands California ( my hometown) and see her and my extended family after 5 years of being away. Now this was a good time cause I saw all my uncles and my aunts and cousins. My uncle Frank unfortunately died a month and a half later as did rickys uncle a month later. It was nice to see the family and for them to meet my family as well. My mother looked awesome! She had lost 200 something pounds and was looking very good and very happy. This was a very happy time for all of us. May you rest in peace uncle Frank.

Jonathons 13th Birthday

Saturday was Jonathons 13th birthday and boy was he happy. It is hard to believe 13 years ago I gave birth to my firstborn son that I have practically grown up with. He was the second best thing to happen to me. Ricky being the first. We had his party at my moms place. We invited my sister and her family and it was a good evening. He managed to get everything he wanted and he was glad be with good family. It has been hard on them when they were around Ricky's family. They were very hard to be around due to the drugs or the tempers or the problems. I am glad they are feeling at home. Life is looking up.
