The Wonders of Family!

Hello dear friends and fellow bloggers! A very warm welcome to you all! Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to visit me here! I really appreciate you all so much! My next post will appear on my blog on Sunday at 7 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.

My Monday post did appear on my blog; however, it did not appear in the Blogger news reader for everyone, and for the ones it did, it showed up 24 hours late! Still issues with this, and I know this is happening for many of you as well. So I am including the link to my Monday post for those of you who may have missed it. Thank you all so much for your love and support.  :)

The following photos are of my own family, which my cousin Vince kindly shared with me! These are photos of my mother's side of the family. Vince is also on my mother's side of the family. (he is my mother's younger sister's son) You can click on any image to see a larger view. This photo is of Aunt Beck, (my mother's aunt and my great aunt) She lived until the age of 81 and died in 1977.

Another photo of my great Aunt Beck, when she was younger. My mother and I were very close to Aunt Beck. We spent a lot of time with her, she was a very kind and loving woman!

This couple were my great aunt, Aunt Beck's parents.

A photo of my mother, who died in 1983 at the age of 67.

My great aunts (from left to right) May, Beck, Bunny...and the lady on the far right is my grandmother, all on my mother's side of the family. As far as what the small thing is in front of them, neither my cousin nor I can figure out what it is! :)

This is a photo of my great grandfather's sister.
