MY BROTHER'S

We were close as kids,
and I love every one of them!
And when we lost the 3,
our family was never the same again!
This page is dedicated
to the dear brothers
I was raised with!

JAMES WILLIAM

My oldest brother is Jimmie,
he is probably the smartest
of all of us,
a guitar player
and he has his own,very
successful cleaning business.
He is quite a bit older than me!

And he is married to Sandy
and they have 2 living children,
Jessica and Clayton!

24 years ago,

HARLEY LEON JR.
My brother Leon,
is the second oldest in my family,
and has gone through
a triple by pass about 8 years ago,
and was doing so good,
but his old heart is failing
now and there is nothing
more the doctors can do to repair it!
But Gods not done with him yet!
He has always been
special to me,
even "when he calls me the
red headed old witch"
a nick name ,he has called me
for many years!!!!
Leon is married to Judy
and she also is a red head!
guess she is his witch also!
haha
She is a survivor
of breast cancer!
Thank God for that!
They have raised 2 children also,
Laura,who works at a nursing home,

Jason and Ricky!
Both teens now and
she now has her new hubby Mitch
,that is really good to her
and together they have
a little boy named DJ!
And is a proud grandma
of a boy and girl born
about a week or so apart!
Leon and Judy are very
very proud grandparents!
Their Son,Leon Jr.
is a police officer and is married to Lisa!

GARY RAY

Gary Ray was born very normal,
with red hair and big blue eyes,
he would have been
57 years old on September 8th,
but he never had a chance at life!
Doctors never could put a disease
name on his problems!
At 6 he went blind and no longer
could see the world,he loved.
But he could hear
the birds and would smile
and say to our mom,hear the birdy momma,
isn't it pretty?
He was loved an awful lot
and would have to learn to live with out
his eyes so mom and dad sent him to blind school,
to learn the new way of living.
But fate wasn't to kind to him,
he became epileptic and the blind school
had to send him home!
Taking the meds would help him
as long as he remained calm,
but Gary also had brain damage
and never aged in his mind,
and what ever disease he had,
was destroying the brain cells and soon the muscles
in his legs gave way
and he was placed in a wheelchair!
This was so much work now for my mom,
and the day he had over 30 seizures,
the doctors convinced my parents
that he needed 24 hour care This was really hard on all of us!
Gary lived 2 years there
and died in Oct of 62, at the age of 17!
He did exist in my life
and was missed so very much!

JACKIE WAYNE
Jackie Wayne was born in 1948,
and had big brown eyes when i was born!and he also was
born a normal child
but also went blind at age 6
and than epileptic!
It was showing that this disease
may be hereditary,
but still no name or cure for it!
Jackie matured in his brain
til he was about 17,
than he never seemed to advance,
and also lost muscles in his legs
and was confined to a wheelchair
and soon was also placed
in a state home!
He died in 1970 at the age of 21!
It was so sad to say goodbye to him!
I miss him so much!

I was the next in line !

PATRICIA ANN
THE ONLY GIRL ALSO!
AND NOT SPOILED AT ALL!
hA I LOVE MY BROTHERS!

TERRY LEE

Terry Lee was born in 1954,
a brown haired,blue eyed
little guy that became my closest He was normal,
and free spirited
and loved to play baseball
but kept saying,ya have to enjoy
life and do all ya can quick ,
because I won't live to see 21!
we thought he was a goofy kid!
haha!!!
He was married to Joann and they
had a beautiful little girl
named Angela,and he was so proud of her!
But he lived life and was
wreckless and wilder than most and
on March 17,1976,he was found turned
upside down in a drainage ditch,filled with water,
dead with his best friend Paul
in an awful car accident,leaving them both dead
and 2 familes absolutely crushed,by this terrible accident!
The hardest death for me to ever overcome!
I miss him so much!
He had just turned 21,Oct 23rd.
He must have had some knowledge
about his life ending so young!
His daughter Angie has 2 darling little kids
and Terry,if he had lived would
have spoiled them rotton!

KENNETH RODERICK
Kenny(HUTCHKEY ON THE NET)
was born,November 23rd, 1963,
his birth seemed to help
us overcome the loss of Gary,
he was a new being,that seemed
to give us all hope for
the future and Jackie
and I and Terry all
seemed to spoil him alot!
Maybe to much,but mom had a
heart attack and we took care of Kenny,
while she recovered,so naturally,
we all were close to him!
Kenny grew up to be a bit wreckless also,
but can play a guitar and sing so beautiful!
He has so many wonderful talents!
His first marriage to Sherry
ended after 14 years and a little boy
named Little Kenny,he is 11 now
and lives with his mother and sees
his dad as much as he wants!
Kenny now is married to Debbie
and they have 2 sweet little boys
named Nathaniel who is 4 and WIlson who is 2
and Debbie has a 16 year old son,
that Kenny just loves named Corey!

Please say a prayer for him
and Leon and Jimmie!
