Derlyn NaOla Alma & Allan
One of the 1st Family Pictures
1942
Derlyn Momma Allan with thier Dog
Clearfield - 1945
I loved finding this Picture
In a Journal my Mother left it said,
"Derlyn Says: 'I sleep in the Tent Everyday, Everyday'"
This was taken with Grandma & Grandpa Waite & Cleve
somewhere near Spokane - 1946
They took a trip to Yellowstone and saw a Bear, too
The Journal said, "Derlyn sang all the next day,
'No bears out today, they be out tomorrow'"
Family Photo taken in 1959
I think this is my Favorite!
Thanksgiving, Our last Brown Family Photo -1977
I remember this one with sadness.
My Mother was very sick and had lost so much weight,
she was wearing clothes I made for myself in 8th grade.
In October last year we went to listen to Roma & Gordon speak after thier Mission.
Paul took this picture of me with my Brother, Derlyn.
To show what a tease he was, I share this last picture, taken by Paul.
Roma and I bought Hats at the Dollar Store
I said lets get a picture, and who snuck up behind to give us Bunny Ears?
My Silly Brother!
My children have Memories of him taking us on the Grand Coulee Dam Tour.
Up and Down the side of the Dam to see the tubines.
They don't allow that anymore.
Watching the Laser Light Show, and rides on Lake Roosevelt behind his boat.
His Sweetheart of 52 Years found him just sitting outside in a chair Thursday Morning.
We'll gather to honor him next week.
Farewell for just a little while...
You Lived and Loved everyone and WE all Loved you!
so sorry for the loss, but such fun memories! Those you can still savor!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for the loss. Prayers for your family to be at peace with this.
ReplyDeleteAnd as for your brother, what an easy way for him to move on. That is a blessing for him, though maybe harder for the family that didn't get to say their good-byes.
Enjoyed your family photos!
Oh Mary that is heartbreaking to lose your brother.... sending you big hugs!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful family pictures!
I am so sorry for your loss, Mary. I have missed so much in the last week. Thank you for sharing the pictures. What precious memories and wonderful times. Such a blessed, peaceful passing. My sympathies for your family and you. As long as he is in your heart, he is never gone.
