| TO THE LEFT ~ CURTIS aka BUDDY, AS WE ALL CALLED HIM, TAKING VIDEOS AT CHRISTMAS EVE AT OUR PARENTS HOME. BEFORE OUR PARENTS HAD TO GO TO THE NURSING HOME, WE WOULD HAVE A CELEBRATION FOR JESUS ON CHRISTMAS EVE NIGHT. ALL THE FAMILY WAS THERE, AND MAMA HAD ALWAYS MADE CHICKEN SALAD AND A BIG POT OF CHICKEN RICE SOUP, PLUS ALL THE CAKES AND PIES SHE WOULD BAKE EVERY YEAR. ALL OF US WOULD BRING GOODIES AND WE WOULD SPREAD EVERYTHING OUT IN THEIR SMALL KITCHEN. SOMEONE WOULD SAY GRACE AND GIVE THANKS FOR THE FOOD, AND WE WOULD EAT THE REST OF THE TIME WE WERE THERE. JUST KEEP GOING BACK AND FORTH TO FILL YOUR PLATE. THEY WERE GOOD TIMES TO REMEMBER. CURTIS WAS A CARPENTER BY TRADE AND ALWAYS WORKED HARD, HIS WIFE, ELIZABETH, IN LATER YEARS AFTER THEIR CHILDREN WERE GROWN, BECAME A MISSIONARY AND WENT ABROAD SPREADING THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST. IN LATE 1996 I BELIEVE IT WAS, BUDDY WAS DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER, AND HE LOST THAT BATTLE ON MAY 3, 1997. WE ALL MISS HIM AND HIS SLOW WIT. HE WAS ALWAYS THE QUIET ONE IN THE GROUP, AN OBSERVER I WOULD SAY. BUT HE IS RESTING WITH JESUS NOW. TO THE LEFT: THIS IS BUDDY AND ELIZABETH ONE CHRISTMAS AT OUR PARENTS. THEY HAVE A DAUGHTER MACHELLE AND A SON GLENN, THEY ARE BOTH GROWN NOW AND HAVE FAMILIES OF THERE OWN. NOW WE START THE PICTURE PARADE OF BUDDY'S FAMILY........... |

 |
| MACHELLE WAS THE FIRST GRANDCHILD BORN INTO OUR FAMILY. AT THE TIME BUDDY WAS IN THE ARMY AND THEY WERE STATIONED IN MISSOURI AND THAT IS WHERE SHE WAS BORN. I WAS IN HIGHSCHOOL AT THE TIME, AND OF COURSE MAMA AND DADDY AND ME AND MY YOUNGER BROTHER, JR. TOOK A TRIP OUT TO SEE THE NEW BABY IN THE FAMILY. EVERYONE WAS QUITE PROUD OF HER AND SHE WAS A BEAUTIFUL BABY AND STILL IS A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG WIFE AND MOTHER NOW. |

| OUR PARENTS ON THEIR 50TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY |
 |
 |
| THIS IS THE CHRISTMAS 1997, BUDDY AND OUR FATHER BOTH PASSED AWAY THAT YEAR, AND OUR MOTHER WAS IN A NURSING HOME WITH ALZHEIMERS. WE STARTED MEETING AT MY HOME THAT YEAR AND CONTINUED FOR SEVERAL YEARS. WE STILL TRY TO SEE EACH OTHER OVER THE HOLIDAYS, SINCE OUR MOTHER PASSED AWAY IN 2000, BUT OVER TIME IT GETS MORE DIFFICULT, WE ARE ALL GETTING OLDER AND SOME HAVE MAJOR HEALTH PROBLEMS. THIS YEAR WE HAD OUR FIRST REAL FAMILY REUNION AND IT WAS GOOD TO ALL BE TOGETHER AND WE HAD A GREAT TIME. |
| HERE WE ARE IN JULY 2004, AT OUR 1ST ANNUAL REUNION, AND WE HOPE TO CONTINUE TO HAVE THEM EVERY YEAR. THIS ONE WAS HELD AT THE FELLOWSHIP HALL AT THE CHURCH WHERE MY BROTHER, DONNIE AND HIS WIFE FAYE, AND THEIR DAUGHTER SHERRY, MY DAUGHTER CASEY AND I ARE ALL MEMBERS. WE HAD LOTS OF ROOM AND MANY LITTLE ONES THERE. A GREAT TIME WAS HAD BY ALL. |
