October 4, 1931~August 12, 2010
Most of you know that my father in law passed away August 12.
You may read his obituary here, if you are interested.
I just wanted to share a few family pictures taken the days after his death.
I said, "smile, Aunt Juanita!"
She said, "I am smiling."
That is not true because I have a beautiful picture of her smiling.
I'll share it with you some day.
I'm sorry to say that Aunt Juanita is in the hospital at this time.
She took a fall and fractured two vertebra in her back.
We saw her yesterday afternoon and she is doing
better and not in as much pain.
She is looking forward to coming home in a few days.
She lives here in Brunswick.
and his younger brother LeGrand who lives in Dallas, Tx.
This picture was taken on Friday the 13th of August,
Betsy's birthday, the day after Dad passed away.
my mother in law. Her and Dad would have been
married 60 years this coming Jan. 13th.
She is a beautiful woman inside and out and a
wonderful mother and MIL.

Hi Gigi, Thank you for sharing more about your FIL and his family. Your MIL is just lovely and I know she misses her husband; almost 60 years of marriage - that is just wonderful. My thoughts and prayers have been with each of you and it is nice to see the faces of everyone. May God continue to bless each of you with His peace.
Beautiful people all...nothing like family, especially at a time like that! :D
Beautiful family! Thanks for sharing! My parents will celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary next summer the Lord willing!
I love the pictures and the little tidbits about each one. You have a beautiful family.
They all look like wonderful people.
Gigi,
It's wonderful to see the family, just sad that it has to be during a funeral! Love the pictures. Hope all are doing well. I hope Aunt Juanita gets home from the hospital soon!
I am glad you posted these photos. What a cool thing to see family members of people we get to know in the blogging world. Best wishes to your family.
Those are wonderful family pictures.
So sorry for your loss. I do love the family togetherness that comes from funerals and weddings.
