Me? I guess people might say that I was direct and loyal and that I had a rotten poker face which hid nothing.Rainbow Motelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14181387926946193981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301586145140787353.post-52026243181264884532013-11-08T13:48:03.091-06:002013-11-08T13:48:03.091-06:00Cha Cha,it sounds like you've found a whole ne...Cha Cha,it sounds like you've found a whole new branch of your family tree. Congrats! I would hope that I would be remembered as the mother/grandmother/aunt/friend who dispensed warm, loving hugs well and often to those around her. Well, and maybe for a wicked sense of humor too.Cinnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02653763717900653496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301586145140787353.post-2815822260814505602013-11-07T16:37:54.651-06:002013-11-07T16:37:54.651-06:00Yeah, they do remember the good stuff--unless you ...Yeah, they do remember the good stuff--unless you are awfully awful.<br />I hope people remember me as laughing and loving and a terrible cook but forgiving in spirit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301586145140787353.post-53769091673441700772013-11-07T06:58:30.753-06:002013-11-07T06:58:30.753-06:00On my dad's side, lots of lots of Jackies, Fra...On my dad's side, lots of lots of Jackies, Frannies, and Bobs. (Bob's your uncle!). My dad and my brother are Bobs.<br />On my mother's side, we have Marie's, Loretta's, Margarets, Anita's. My daughter's middle name is Marie - got to keep it in the family.<br />As for characters, there are plenty of them on both sides. Uncle Adolf who made his own knives, Aunt Julie and all her kids, Uncle Jackie who was fond of calling at 2 am, my Granny, Uncle Elmie, my own father was quite a character.<br />I hope the stories they tell about me measure up to some of the ones we tell about those who came before us.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13879162672311458964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301586145140787353.post-30903623872268137492013-11-06T18:42:40.000-06:002013-11-06T18:42:40.000-06:00Hmm . . . my mom's paternal uncles come to min...Hmm . . . my mom's paternal uncles come to mind. They hoarded food at the end of WW2 and wouldn't share with starving family members (this was in Germany).<br /><br />I'm surrounded by Roberts. My dad's name is Robert, his mother's name was Roberta, my nephew is Rob, and I married a Robert (who goes by Rob, never Bob, which is good because my dad goes by Bob and that would have just been weird).Cassihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04058787761575567910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301586145140787353.post-32743446350401607292013-11-06T17:54:55.762-06:002013-11-06T17:54:55.762-06:00I want people to say You always knew what Holly wa...I want people to say You always knew what Holly was thinkingHolly @ Cat Hair and Glitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05352949381012839871noreply@blogger.com
