Happy 19th Birthday, Ian

I'm wishing my great-grandson, Ian, a very Happy 19th Birthday today.  He is such a sweet great-grandson, and I love him so much.  He's shown here at his mother's new business, Circle Up Fitness, which recently opened on Halls Ferry Road in Vicksburg, MS.  Also, another picture of him at 10 years old that I love.  I hope he has a wonderful day and many more birthday years to come.

Happy 38th Birthday, Victoria!

Today, my Granddaughter, Victoria Leigh, is celebrating her 38th Birthday. Born on Halloween, her Dad nicknamed her “Spook,” which fits her perfectly. She gave me my great-grandson Ian, who will be 19 in a few days. Victoria is a caring, sweet granddaughter. She just opened her own business, Circle Up Fitness, and had the grand opening last week. I’m wishing her a very happy birthday, full of happiness, joy, and success in her new adventure. I love you so very much, Victoria! Gran Gran xoxo

My Grandpa Love Holding Me

My Grandfather, James Edward Love, held me at our home, where he lived with us until I was twelve years old. He was a Telegraph Operator for the Illinois Central Railroad and was transferred to Vicksburg from New Orleans when my Dad was about 9 years old. He died the day after the tornado hit Vicksburg back in Dec. '53. We boarded a train to New Orleans for his funeral, and it was the first time I ever saw my Dad cry.

Happy 57th Birthday, Debra Ann

I'm wishing my 3rd daughter, Debra Ann "Debi", a very Happy 57th Birthday today.  Debi works as a Nanny for two doctors' little girl.  She is also a mother of two sons, Stephen and Michael (nicknamed Ethan, who served 12 years in the U.S. Air Force), and a daughter, Lucy.  She is blessed with three grandsons, William, Noah, and Asher, and her first granddaughter, due to Lucy in February 2027.  I wish her many more incredible years.  I love you, MOM

Happy "Heavenly" Birthday, William David Boyd

Yesterday and Today, I'm wishing my only son, William David Boyd, a Heavenly 62nd Birthday. He passed away the next day from hyaline membrane disease of the lungs. His mother and sisters, Theresa, Kathleen, Debra, and Marian Suzanne, sadly miss him. The ceramic angel sat atop his flowers, and I've held on to it all these years.
