Our Extended Family – 2023 Updates

As hard as it has been to visit all our extended family during the COVID years we do like to recognize them through photos and postings that we have gleaned over the past year. (The ones shown here only represent a fraction of our extended family, but they are the photos we have available for this past year.)

New Additions

Our niece Ruth (Hope, Maine) gave birth to Cora Jane in July and our nephew Eric’s wife, Keiran, delivered Myla Joye in November, in Spokane, Washington.

Next month our nephew Kent is marrying Siobhan O’Toole in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. to add one more to the extended family. Fortunately, there were no losses this past year.
