Daniel Pinna:
"Celebrating Thanksgiving with mom and Lisa. Kathy lived from 9 - 16 years old in Seattle. She had thanksgiving with grandma Nel and grandpa Shirley at noon and then at 5 they drove across Seattle to Magnolia Bluff to celebrate with Aunt Elaine (grandpa’s sister) since she wouldn’t talk or interact with Shirley (her step grandfather). Her father was Hollis and when her mother died they adopted out all of the girls including Elaine."
Judas Chappell:
Charles Konieckzi was an amazing man. He was a great father, husband, and even grandfather. Charles had two children named Charles and Tony, twins, both going on to have multiple kids. Charles wouldn’t meet his great grandchildren, but they honor him anyway, keeping him close in their hearts. Charles was a happy man with an average life. He argued with his wife and loved his boys dearly. Charles was the funniest man you could have met.
Lydia Steedman:
Grandpa Lyckholm - Melvin Lyckholm was my Grandfather. He was the Father of my Mom (Darlene June Lyckholm) and my Aunt (Betty Lyckholm)
I remember Grandpa and Grandma (Mae Elida Tackala) Lyckholm came to live with us when I was a young teenager. I loved them both very much. We had a 50th wedding anniversary party for them and shortly thereafter they took off for Minnesota to visit friends and family. After visiting Minnesota for only a few weeks, Grandpa became sick and was admitted to the hospital where he passed away from cancer a very short time later. So I never got to see him again. I was 16 1/2 by then. I was so sad. And I remember Grandma coming back from Minnesota without him. I remember hearing her cry at night and it broke my heart. What a sad time for all of us. Grandpa Lyckholm was a good man. I loved him and I still miss him and I am turning 65 this month. You never stop missing people we loved.
Thanks for letting me share,
Lydia June (Hackley) Steedman

Thomas Crockett:
My grandmother - Grandma Marie was my only grandparent still alive when I was a kid. She was ahead of her time and was always ahead in technology and culture. She was always very busy. Even when she went into the nursing home, she had you stay a lil while and then she had cards with the girls, hair apt or bingo. She had 4 children and was an amazing grandmother to me.
She always collected crackers n other candies n give them to us but sometimes they were a bit stale but we loved it anyway
Niki York:
Married on Valentine’s Day 2004 - Stephen was my first love. We ran away to Reno and eloped on Valentine’s Day 2004 when i was 19 and he was 25. Stephen was one of a kind to say the least. I think about him often. I still have our wedding pictures and a few little things that i could never bring myself to get rid of.
Sargon Elia:
“Boiling” - I remember her visiting when I was 8 or 9 years old in Tehran, Iran, with her daughter Valentine. She was very talkative, earning the moniker “Biq-biqoo,” meaning boiling in Assyrian. In Assyrian culture everyone had a moniker (Laqooma). She told great stories about village life in SALAMAS. She loved to eat hot peppers as a snack and people strived to bring her the hottest peppers they could find. “This is as sweet as honey,” she’d say with tears and sweat running down her cheeks. She, my maternal grandmother Esther Masteran (Elia) and my paternal grandaunt Regina had a pact to pray for each other when they died to get them out of purgatory and into heaven. She loved drinking tea brewed in a Samavar.
