Our Family, Sept. 1997
Daphyne and I had 37 1/2 years of married life, and
this picture was approximately 3 months before her death
Left picture is youngest son, Rodney, with wife Tena, and daughter Mallory
Center picture is Daphyne with our sons Keith, and Rodney
Right picture is oldest son, Keith
Daphyne with granddaughter Mallory
Daphyne was diagnosed with cancer in August 1988, Mallory was born in
November 1988. She asked the Lord to give her 10 years, to be with Mallory,
so she would be old enough to always remember her.
She was blessed to have a little over 9 of those years.
Well I hope you enjoyed these pictures of my family.
We are short one now, but we can rest in peace,
knowing that she is resting, in a better
place than us. *S*
God Bless You
In June 1998, we took a family vacation back to
NW Missouri, to visit with, what remains of my
family there. I have two brothers left living.
My three Sisters, Parents, Grandparents, Aunts,
Uncles, and the vast majority of my cousins
have passed on.
Picture on left is Keith, Mallory, Tena, and Rodney in front of
the Pattee museum in St. Joseph Mo. Rodney always keeps us laughing.
Picture on right is Me, Tena, Rodney, and Keith out on the farm where
I was raised.
Picture on left is Me, Aubrey, Juanita, with Marje, Harold,
and Myself on the right. This is my two brothers and their
wives. Aubrey is 10, and Harold is 5 years older than I.
Our Sisters was older than all of us.
