During the last week of March we have experienced the cycles of life. On March 21st, our Aunt Wilma Bradshaw passed away at the age of 94. She was Wes's dad's older sister. We had a wonderful time of celebrating her life at the funeral service in Springtown, Texas. The Methodist church where she and her husband J.K. Bradshaw were active provided a wonderful meal for the family before the service.
Wilma was probably 17 in this picture taken at the weigh-station after a day of picking cotton. She married out of high school, had 3 children and was widowed at the age of 32. She married J.K. at the age of 37, and he brought 3 boys with him.
We were blessed for Matt, Morgan and Emma to travel from Midland to be at the service.

After the service at Aunt Jo's house in Weatherford we continued the family fellowship. That is Wes's cousin Sue Griffin Stahl with his mom Sylvia.

The cycle of life continues as Jan celebrates a birthday, here with Vivian Miller, Edna Staudt, and Mary Herst. All LONG-time friends who have stuck with us through hard times and good. We love you!
Sweet Teri McDonald blessed Jan with a gift bag of birthday presents, including this hand-crocheted monogram cloth, suitable for framing. Notice RJG, that's Rosalyn Jan Griffin! This will be a precious heirloom.
The bluebonnets in our field next door are better than ever!
