This is HELEN & JACOB at home.
They have always gathered their family together to celebrate special occasions...or for times to just remember...we are a family.

Besides...
"BABA just put a chicken in the oven"
...LOL

Here is my dad's sister's family...in their spots at the table:
Aunty Lucy (right of picture),
daughter Susan (in pink top)
Uncle MIKE (Lucy's hubby),
David (eldest son)
Gary (youngest son, face behind wine glass)
*there is Daisy & Tommy (David's kids)
and Genoa (Gary's daughter)
at the table too...
but you can't see Daisy in photo
- she's between Susan and Mike)

This is my dad's sister LUCY. She is my Godmother, and my Aunt.

Unfortunately, my Aunt battled with Cancer in the last few years of her life and passed away in April of 1998.

This photo was taken in October of 1994.

GIDO saw many birthday cakes in his lifetime. As the years went on...he would get quite melancholy about it.

His family was sure grateful to be able to have him here for so many chances to say...

"Happy Birthday GIDO !!!"

Well I wonder where "HOT" gets her love for photographs?...LOL
