hi debra ann, my name is teresa and i am don's oldest daughter. i wish we could have
met grandma and aunt ruth ann before they died. dad tried for years to find grandma. and
rick and i have been trying too. yes grandma has one sister who is still alive. aunt
delphia. she lives in michigan. she is the only one left. she is in her early 80's. i
do keep in touch with her. i haven't seen her in years .she sent me a picture of her,
her son and well 5 generations, i'll get it copied and send it to all of you. i will
send it through the mail. plus i have a couple other pictures to send. one is grandma and
one of her husbands and one is her daughter. i heard that you didn't know that your
mom had a sister. her name is nancy jean. i don't know where she is. she had three
kids. two boys and a girl. grandma was suppose to have given her up for adoption when she
was little. and some family across the river from huntington w va adopted her. aunt delpia
told me that. as for my dad (donald!
) he's not doing very good. he had two strokes last week and is still in the hospital.
he responds to us some but not very much. before he had the strokes we told him that we
thought that we found out about grandma and ruth ann. tears came to his eyes. I wish it
could have been a few years earlier. now you know that there is more family on your mom
and grandma's side. i wish we know why grandma was so secretive about things. here is
my e-mail address. tmottle(a)valkyrie.net. hope to hear more from all of you. i'll sent
the pictures just as soon as i can. take-care, your cousin teresa
