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."
Marquis Elliott:
My uncle John - When I was a little girl my uncle worked everyday building houses. He packed his lunch for work everyday so when he would come home in the evening as soon as he got out the car I would run to him asking him if I could have some of his soda and he would tell me no. So on this one time he said yes and handed it to me so I took it and turned it up to my mouth and when it got to my mouth I spit it out so fast because it wasn’t soda it was liquor. He said now he won’t have to worry about me anymore.
Ray L:
A Spirited Young Man Who Died Too Young - A very witty man with a strong personality. He loved his father and mother very much. He lived a fast life which is why he was taken from us at 21. Those who knew him were drawn to him by his humor, his personality that makes you feel a connection, and a loyalty to his friends and family.
Randy Day:
Working on my deceased birt father's family tree - My birth Father's legal name was Rufus J. Turner. He and his wife, Viva Dale Turner, were the parents of ten children. My twin sister and I were siblings #9 and 10. At the time of our birth in November 8, 1955, Rufus had left the family and moved to Avon Park, Florida. While there he sent word for us all to come and join him.
However, when we got off the Greyhound bus, he was not there. Later on he did respond to a court order for child support by sending support monies to our oldest sister, and the return address was from somewhere in Texas.
We've traced our ancestry back to England and France on our Mother's side. We also know our Father was full-blooded German. But we have no links or names to any of his parents or ancestors.
If anyone could help me in this quest, I would be very grateful.
Sincerely,
Randy Day
Henrietta Young:
My paternal Grandmother - She lived in Heath Springs, SC. She was my father's mother (Henry Lewis). She was mixed, Caucasian & Cherokee Indian. Me and my sister lived with her and her youngest child/son (Frank Lewis) for a little while. We later moved on with other relatives (mother passed after having my youngest brother) but we would go back to visit. Everytime I visited she would make me a 3 layer coconut cake. Best cake in the world.
Rhonda Barnes:

Venice Sherman:
Me daddy - He taught me how to run a house and cook, and not to trust people. He was a chef in the army, and an excellent cook. My brother Ali and I spent a lot of childhood with him. He wasn’t perfect, infact he did a lot of wrong, but he did teach me a lot, and I miss him very much, I wish he could have known his grand children, and great grandchildren, there is a lot.
Priscilla Arnold:
Grandfather - This was my grandfather. I didn't get to visit him a lot, but I loved him dearly. He was a very quiet man. He played the fiddle really, really well. He was married to Ruth Hurst Trigg and they had four children - John Lonus (my father), Billy Birl, Ruth Ellen and Ronald Kenneth. They had a farm outside of Hector. He grew peanuts among other things and had cattle. I got to visit the farm as a child. I remember him out chopping wood for their wood burning stove. It was always so cold (we usually visited around Christmas) we would jump out of bed and run to the living room and get dressed by the wood burning stove.
Tricia Salgado:

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.
Leila Bensaeid:
My mother and 7 child and war in ìran va iraq and leave my father our a d go with shamsi zendehroudi bensaeid and two daughter mehrnoosh and shiva don't belong my father to maryland washington Dc USa, my dear mom god bless and thanks of all sad and cry for us 7 child ben bensaeid - The day I heard the war started, we were in Abadan. First, Khorramshahr was attacked. When we heard the news of the attack on Khorramshahr, we had no picture of the war at all and did not know what the war was. They said that Iraq has invaded. We had no idea of war in our youth. We thought it was a passing incident and it was over. Local forces repel the attacks and this will end soon. The war started on September 21 1978 and we did not know what war was until the second day of October, when the Abadan education building was bombed! After the attack on Abadan, we just understood the meaning of the war and what happened. It was the second day of October when we realized that the war was real and the war had begun. My mother did not know what to do with her 7 children.
