About 19 years ago I went searching for my brothers and sisters on my dads side and found Kenny, Patricia, Kathy, and so many more, nieces, nephews, .... I am so happy I had that time to talk over the phone, have a great vacation time, and advice from my big sister. I will miss her so much. Rest in peace and tell dad I said hey! Love you all. Kimberly
