My parents’ grave –

Up Barden Brook just outside of the Boro of Eldred, Pa.

My brother-in-law Bill –

And my sister Donna’s grave.

Just a few feet from my parents’ grave.

My brother Roger shortly before he passed away.

My younger brother Mike’s grave is just a few feet from the rest of my family!

All are now gone.

My niece Terri, my brother Mike, and I are in the middle.

Terri is no longer with us.

Not here is my nephew Rick, who passed away, and Kelli, who still lives in Donna and Bill’s house.

So, almost everyone I grew up with has passed away.

Jamie and Brandi – my niece Terri’s daughters – my great nieces!!!

Jamie lives in Portville, and Brandi lives in the home I was raised in.

This home has been in the family for, I guess, 82 years!

My oldest son, Troy, and his partner, Andrea, still live back where they were raised in Pa.

Next is Sherry.

Then Trisha, my youngest son Shawn, and Trisha’s daughter Autumn.

They all still live back in Pa.

The day Sherry and I were married – 6-25-1982.

While my family is mostly still in the area I grew up in-

Sherry is all alone here in the Carolinas with the exception of her one sister, Debbie.

Most of the family she grew up with remains in Pa.

Her daughters are back in NVA, where we transferred to.

As are the six grandkids.

Sherry – Bonnie and Debbie.

Her mother, Barb, and her father, Bill.

Today, we are scattered, or most have passed away.

But our roots still remain in Pa.

This blog is a journal for the generations to come.

To know us, our families, and who we were.
