I talked to Grandpa Milo and Grandma Sarah. They will come to North Carolina the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and leave Tuesday the following week. We are very excited they are coming. Kelly and Christian are going to cook the turkey and make all the fixings with the help of Grandpa Milo. I was sad to hear that my uncle Harlan had died. He had been institutionalized for the last 35 years due to an industrial accident. Harlan was the brother next older in age to Grandpa Milo. Half the aunts and uncles are now gone. Grandpa Milo is the oldest of the boys who is left. The others, in order, are Uncles Ron and Richard. Aunt Fern (Merle’s Mom and Trisha’s Grandma) and Aunt Betty up in Washington are the living aunts. Dale, Dean, Ruth, Alma, and Harlan are the ones that have died.
