What a great day! Today both my boys, living out of the house, came home for Christmas. I was so happy to see them, I almost couldn't control myself. Here we are at the airport waiting for Jeremy's luggage.

She had 2 older brothers and 3 younger sisters. Don’t even think about calling her Effie, she didn’t like that name. She was to be called Marie. She only loved one man in her life and she lost him in a tragic car accident after 37 years of marriage. She gave birth to 5 sons, the last pregnancy resulting in twin boys. We teased her that God didn’t give her a girl because the name she picked out was not acceptable. She always wanted a daughter named Spring Dawn. She worked for years at a Orange p
