| This page is dedicated to my aunts and uncles. Mother and Aunt Helen fussed just like sisters are expected to do, but this one has a more ominous problem, mother was angry at Aunt Helen when she died, never having the chance to make up as her death was very sudden. For years I didn't go around Aunt Helen, but finally got up the courage to visit with her. She greeted me warmly, it was almost like we never lost all those good years. I really love Helen, she is the only living link I have to my mother, she is warm, kind and very sweet. |

| I am indeed happy in the fact that I have been able to locate pictures of all of the children of my Grandfather, Robert F. Stinnett. This one doesn't enlarge well, so I had to let it remain tiny. Later, I was able to obtain this other one of Grandpa and his son Bill. |
| Grandma Lena was the only Grandmother I knew on this side of the family. She recently died, a victim of Alzheimer's She always tried to look out for each and everyone of her "adopted" children and Grandchildren as well. |
