Dad loved the reunion...

2004
I don't remember the year we started the reunion but I do know "why" we did. At funerals Aunt Mary's kids and us would start reminiscing and laughing and we decided we needed to set up a yearly time to be together so it would not look like we were having an improper good time at funerals. We decided on Memorial Day weekend.

1993
We played volleyball, 42, board games, ate, and ate... but most of all we caught up..after spending many summer months together as children,  our families have a lot of history. Good history. I wish we had these good times written down in a book so I could take it out from time to time and read to remember what an excellent childhood I had. Sometimes, I forget...............


I won't be able to attend today but I love everyone there and pray with all my heart they know I am there in spirit...all I have been able to think about today is how much I love my cousins and miss Dad.

    Good pictures! I miss dad, too. I really don't like to go to the cemetary either. I don't know the way out there and I really can't afford the gas or the little extras either so I am not going. I keep the boys today anyway. I pray you have a good day. I am sorry Perry has to work. I am having a 3 day weekend and I love it.
    God bless your day!

    glenda, I am not sure how this will post as aol but if it posts I loved your post. I miss dad so much lately. Wesley came in from mowing out at the cemetery and crashed. I have tried to get him up three times. I will try again in a minute. If we get out there I will let everyone know your feelings. I love you

    Sherman confirmed this to be the 26th reunion. The discussion was made at his dad Jimmy Crawford's funeral to start meeting under happier circumstances. This was 1985.
    It's been a great success in my books. and you are right Glenda, Dad LOVED them
