As I said before seeing you on your wedding day one could see the love you shared. please hold on to the happy times, thats what gets me through the hard days when we lost your brother. I love you Gwen and will always be here for you. God bless.
One of my cousins, a single mom, has a very unruly 6 year-old. He is loud, disobedient, and a nightmare in public. When it came time to blow out the candles and cut the birthday cake, he came and stood directly next to my son. I anticipated what was going to happen next and asked my husband to stand behind this kid in case he tried to pull anything.
Correspondence with my family does not resume again until a decade later in 1961, when Lenard publishes Winnie Ille Pu, his Latin translation of Winnie the Pooh, and enjoys surprising worldwide success. Goodman gets word of the publication and brazenly takes things into his own hands by writing this Feb. 6, 1961 letter to the Editor of Time Magazine in the Time and Life Building in New York City. Clearly, Goodman sees the story of his cousin as an intriguing mix of quixotic impulses and stubborn intellectualism.
We wore those white uniforms on our graduation, and the following Saturday we wore them to Rudy's wedding. Rudy chose to serve in the Marine Corps, from which he had been on temporary assignment as a NROTC officer candidate to study at Duke for four years. One summer midway through those years, we were sent to Texas, where Rudy, 35 other midshipmen and I were given flight instruction in both fighter and bomber aircraft, I imagined myself requesting further flight instruction, hoping to get wings as a fighter pilot upon our graduation from Duke. Rudy was not only more experienced from his prior service in the Marine Crops, but he was wiser than I as well. He cautioned me as to the danger of landing and even taking off from carriers should I make such a choice. Probably I owe my life at this point to Rudy Ruda for his caution, because my automobile driving was and is so reckless, I probably would never even have earned wings, much less shot down any enemy aircraft! Thank you, if somewhat belatedly, dear Rudy!
I recently discovered for this "album project" that the wedding vows appropriate to the Roman Catholic Ceremony include the traditional formula (using here the names of my dear friends, Pat and John) as follows:
Over the last several years, Bill was blessed with the care of a wonderful caregiving and nursing staff from Caring Hearts Agency, who enabled him to live comfortably in his home with Doris. He dearly loved each and every one of his caregivers and thought of them as family.
He is survived by his daughters Lori Quinn of Kennewick, Barbara Hazari (husband Tarun) of Mukilteo, WA, brother Richard Hodges (wife Jan) of Pasco, sister-in-law Luella Parthenay, of Vancouver, WA, and several cousins, nieces, and nephews.
Words cannot describe what an honor it has been to call Bill a friend. I will forever cherish the time spent visiting and caring for him and his dear Doris.
His smile, jokes, stories, wisdom, laughter, and friendship will be missed.
Prayers for Lori, Barb, and the entire family during this period of grief. You were blessed with incredible parents.
I want to tell you a bit about my cousin Janice Lemann, an American hero, my friend, and an artist. And also give you a peek at her California Traditional Home in Redlands. Annie and Cindy are also sharing their favorites at the moment at the end of the post.
So sorry about your cousin Janice. I have 6 girl cousins, so I know what you mean about having a connection like a sister. She was so talented and creative apparently. One look at her home and art can tell you that.
Take care Mary Ann. Thanks for sharing your memories and her home with us.
What a beautiful post honoring a very special lady who was so dear to you. She was extremely talented, just like her cousin, and cared for all things in her life. I could tell from the photos that her home was filled with treasures and wonderful things she loved. My thoughts, prayers and love are with you and your family as you remember Janice and the love you shared.
I am so sorry to hear the news of your cousin, Janice. My husband just passed after his battle with cancer and I know the sense of relief that comes when it is finally over. Without a doubt, cancer sucks. I hope you find peace in the coming days as you grieve and remember her gifts. xx-hb

Hi, i collect books as a hobby. I recently went to pick up some old books that someone was giving away. To my great surprise, the exact letter described above fell off an old world atlas. The letter was written with a type-writting machine. There is a few differences though between the letter i found and the one posted above. Mine had no spaces between the lines. Also on top it says: COUNTY CORK, IRLAND. DEC. 25, 1967. A spelling mistake in Ireland and a date. Also at the end it was signed: Your devoted cousin Minnie. I live in Fort Erie, Ontario, Canada.
I also have a letter found in an old magazine the letter starts at the top right corner . County Cork Ireland. Begins with dear cousin and ends with your devoted cousin Timothy . It is all hand written and hand signed. It is not a photocopy. Interesting.
Macchio and Whitfield play William Gambini and Stanley Rothenstein, two young New Yorkers who are arrested in Alabama and put on trial for a murder they did not commit. Unable to afford a lawyer, they are defended by Gambini's cousin Vinny Gambini (Pesci), newly admitted to the bar, who arrives with his fiance, Mona Lisa Vito (Tomei). The clash between the brash Italian-American New Yorkers and the more reserved Southern townspeople[3] provides much of the film's humor. The principal location of filming was Monticello, Georgia.[4]
Driving through Alabama, Bill Gambini and Stan Rothenstein, college students from New York, shop at a convenience store. After they leave, the store clerk is robbed and killed. Due to circumstantial evidence, Bill is charged with first-degree murder and Stan as an accessory; Bill and Stan assumed they were being busted after Bill accidentally forgot to pay for a can of tuna. Bill and Stan use Bill's cousin, Vinny Gambini, a personal injury lawyer from Brooklyn, because they can't afford a private lawyer, and he'll represent them for free. Vinny is newly admitted to the bar and has no trial experience. He arrives in Alabama with his fiance, Mona Lisa Vito, who comes from a family of mechanics.
Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave My Cousin Vinny 2.5 stars out of a possible 4. He declared that despite Macchio's co-star billing, the actor was given little to do, and the film seemed adrift until "lightning strikes" with the final courtroom scenes, when Gwynne, Pesci, and Tomei all gave humorous performances.[10] Ebert's television partner, Gene Siskel of the Chicago Tribune, liked the film more, singling out Dale Launer's screenplay for praise.[11]
Betty Jane Yehling, nee Grimme, 82, beloved wife of the late Thomas; loving mother of Kathie (Steve) Haber; cherished grandmother of Katrina Haber; proud sister-in-law of Sally (Bill) Jones and dear cousin and friend of many.

Visitation Tuesday, 3 to 9 p.m. In lieu of flowers donations to Vitas Hospice, Wood Dale Community Methodist Church or Cancer Research. 630-250-8588.
