Martin Guerrero:
I only visited my grandfather a couple of times before he passed way but my earliest memory is of him drinking a beer out of a can and sitting in his favorite chair.
Fast forward, we attended his funeral and it made me sad because I saw my mother sad. It was my first time to ever see anyone in a casket, it kind of scared me; I was nine years old.
Maria Maio:
I miss you Lew - We met at Warren Tricomi and became fast friends. He always looked out for me, I will never forget when he called me and said “Mariah wants you to come over and do her makeup” I was so nervous ! We worked with her for good while and had so much fun. Definitely one of the highlights of my career. I am so sad he didn’t get to see my daughter grow up to be such a beautiful human.. He would have been so proud and would have been a great uncle to her. We miss you so much it hurts. You were one of my favorite humans.
George Dunne:
A true patriot - Helen Irene Dunne Heinz was one of 13 children born to an Army family at Fort Riley in Kansas. She along with her older brother ( my father ) and younger sister were sent to live with their maternal grandmother in New Jersey to ease the strain on the family. She attended nursing school in New Jersey and was a roommate with a woman who eventually became my mother. Helen served as an enlisted officer along with her surgeon husband in the Korean campaign's MASH units. She was a stunningly beautiful woman and as our family rumors have it, she was the prototype for the character of Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan on the TV show M.A.S.H.
Michael Terredanio:

Marie Kirk Falcone:
Leonard Falcone is my father - Dad I dearly think of you every moment of the day. You are a great father and done everything for us kids that you could do. You were a brave man also kind hearted. Hard worker loving husband and father. Could not have asked for a better dad. Love and miss you very much.💞❤️💞
Saesha Wallis:
Catherine's Eldest Son's (with Paul Fukuhara) Eldest (2nd to really) Daughter - Catherine was my grandmother. She passed when I was just 15 years old. I moved from Hawaii to Texas at around the age of 10 years old, so I don't have a lot of memories of her at all.
Honestly, all I remember is her sitting at the dining room table. I have no memory of her ever talking or walking. I know she did because my mother said she used to walk me to school & told me of conversations they had, but as hard as I try to recollect anything other than her sitting there...I just can't.
I wish I would've known her better, but it's ok because we'll meet again & when we do...we'll have eternity to get to know one another.
Rita Campbell:
Adelina was my mother - Her preferred name, and stage name while she worked much of her life as a dancer, was Lili. She didn’t like her given name and liked her middle name even less. She was very quiet, modest, and elegant.
She loved to read, garden, discuss books with my father, and she wanted the best in the world for her children. She had a pet canary. When she was a child she lived on a ranch in Arizona with an aunt and had a pet rooster.
She was trained in classical ballet, and was a professional dance team with my God father through the Great Depression era. They called themselves Tavo and Lili. They worked a lot for community events and parties for the very rich, and also regularly as extras for MGM studios. She was a stand-in for Delores del Rio the famous crossover Mexican actress.
Mom had extremely high standards. She always had excellent posture and was very graceful and charming. She was a dancer and my dad was a musician, and so they met in the entertainment field.
He decided to court her, and they got married and she gave birth to my brother, Louis Anthony. My dad went to serve in WWII, did his duty to country, was honorably discharged and after he returned, I came along. She had a bad heart and later in life, dad nursed her with great care and devotion until she passed. He died nine years after her.

Walter Robert CALWAY was b. 10 Dec 1871 in Neillsville, WI to parents Samuel B. CALWAY (1843-1924) and Catherine RAINEY (1842-1925) who were married 28 Feb 1865 in St. Gilles, Quebec, Canada. Walter was one of 5 children born to this couple including Albert William Samuel; Walter Robert; Sarah Clementine; Inez Lillian; and Forrest or Forest Delwin CALWAY, all born between 1867 and 1880. Walter married Julia Martha REITZ (1873-1971) on 5 May 1892 in Neillsville, WI and they had two children including, Vernon “Vern” Delwin CALWAY (1893-1977) and Berneice or Bernice or Bereneice Lilas CALWAY (1895-1925).
Walter died 21 Jan 1955 in Douglas County, OR and is buried in the Riverview Cemetery in Portland, OR. When Walter’s son Vern died at the age of 84, he was survived by one son Wallace A. CALWAY of Oak Ridge, TN and three grandchildren. I believe that one of those grandchildren was Robert Vern CALWAY b. 1952 and living in Oak Ridge, TN and another was Gerald Alan CALWAY b. 1957 and living in Farragut, TN.

My Pappa - Louis was my dad, a war veteran, a great husband to my mom, an awesome granpa towards my kids. He worked in a door company, Bellwood in Orange for years. He took us to amusement parks, recreational parks, movies. Friday 's were family night, took us all to eat fish n chips, then ice cream . I miss him so much, my Itailan hero, my dad.
Suzanne Wunderbar Pulczynski:
My father, my Hero! - BUPPA, I miss you so much, the whole family fell apart when you passed. I miss your voice, I miss the piano you used to play, I miss hearing your heavy accent.
If I could turn back time, I'd go back in time just to sit on your lap just one more time.
Your daughter

I have an old studio photograph of Emery Rice DANIELS which was taken at the Swartz studio in Stuart, IA. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's with Emery likely in his 60's at the time. He is also identified as "LaVelle's Great Grandfather". Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Emery and his family:
Emery Rice DANIELS was b. 13 Oct 1822 in Windsor, MA to parents Eliphalet DANIELS (1797-1861) and Amanda RICE (1800-1839) who were married 15 Sept 1821 in Conway, MA. Emery was one of 7 children born to this couple including Emery Rice; William Cullen; Amanda R.; Amond; Charles Franklin; and Eliphalet DANIELS Jr., all born between 1822 and 1832. Emery’s father was married previously and had one additional son, Aviery DANIELS (b. 1819).
Emery married twice, first to Ellen WEAR (1825-1852) on 15 Jun 1848 in Peoria, IL and they had two children including Amanda Ellen DANIELS SHERMAN (1849-1939) and Laura C. DANIELS MURRAY (1852-1938). His second marriage was to Phebe or Pheobe S. STILLMAN (1829-1913) on 3 Mar 1853 in Peoria, IL and they had 8 children including Charles Franklin; Orlando Sherman; Sylvester Joseph; Baby Boy; Adoniram Judson; Leroy Emery; Dexter; and Lovica “Lollie” DANIELS, all born between 1854 and 1868.
Emery died 14 Apr 1902 in Azusa, CA and is buried in the Oakdale Memorial Park Cemetery in Glendora, CA.
I would like to get the photograph to a family member and appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family or you know someone who might be.
Thanks,
Shelley
