It sure doesn't seem like 2 years since Mrs. Brink died.  She died after my dad did and it doesn't seem like it has been 2 years since daddy died, either.

Thanks to this posting I was finally able to figure out how Marjean and her sisters are related to me.

Marjean, could you please e-mail me with your dad's birthday, your's and Henry's birthdays and your marriage date? I would really like to include that information in my geaneology records. I would also like your sisters' info as well as their husbands names. I didn't get a chance to meet their husbands when I was there last summer.

my e-mail is DandyMomma@yahoo.com

Talk to you soon!!!

Marjean just this week had knee replacement surgery, so she may be laid up for awhile.  I don't think she is out of the hospital yet, but I'm sure she will contact you when she is up to it.
