I fondly remember ALL my aunts, uncles, and cousins, and the great times we had together. Our Sunday afternoon get-togethers were always fun. It seems it was always a holiday or someone’s birthday, and a cause for celebration. Not very many cousins have had the closeness that we were raised with, or the loving Christian guidance from so many relatives. As one of Irene’s tribe, I remember her making only POSITIVE comments about everyone.
