~  UPDATE      ONE YEAR LATER     UPDATE  ~

Unfortunately, our family has grown smaller in 1999. On January 25, 1999 our oldest sister, Annette, passed away. Again we were brought together-this time to say goodbye to a sister we had found only nine months earlier. We mourn her loss but are grateful for what little time we had with her.

I think the most important lesson we’ve all learned this past year is that no matter what we now know about our past, what regrets we have in not being together those 45 years, it all happened for a reason. Even though each life took a different course, we have come full circle. WE ARE A FAMILY--- AGAIN!!!!!!
