Doug and I attended the funeral for my biological dad, Oscar. I am thankful that 20 years ago I found him and was able to meet him for the first time. I only have good memories of him. We met several times since then. He and Joan came and stayed at our house a few years ago. We had fun making S'mores in our fire pit. After the funeral we had a luncheon at the church. Here are the family pictures of my brothers and sisters. I am so glad to have met all 6 of them. I hope we all stay in touch.

These photos of you and your brothers and sisters are family treasures. I'm so glad you were able to go down.

I didn't realize that you had found Oscar only 20 years ago.

I'm sorry that u lost both ur dad's mom... I couldn't even imagine having 2 dads, and then losing them each within a few years of each other... You're the strongest woman I know, and also the most selfless. I know you'll perservere through this trying time and be rewarded greatly for it. I love you! and I'm very proud of you and thankfull that I have you as my mother! :)

I lost my mom in 04 and sometimes I"m still going to call her to tell her something.
As Tonya says you will see each other again.
