All gone except the "babies" . . .


All these people are gone now except the "babies" in each of the families, Aunt A shown in the inset on the top photo and Mom, the girl in white on her mother's lap, above.
I tried to think of the order of passing for each of the members of each family and I'm not sure I have it right. Please correct me if I'm wrong. The G---ers: (the two girls who died young, J & O, who are not pictured here and then:) Uncle W (I didn't know him; he died before I was born), Uncle T, Dad, Uncle H (those three in the same year), Aunt R, Uncle D, Uncle C, Aunt L (those two within months of one another), and Aunt R (101). The N------s: Uncle L (of cancer), Aunt M, Aunt L, Uncle R, Aunt B, Aunt G (those two in the same summer), and Aunt E. All gone now, except the babies.

That is so amazing!
What memories come to mind looking at all those Great People!
I asked Aunt A, how she felt being the only one left just like Mom.
She said that "it stunk, but what could she do about it!" HA
She is Awesome!
Thank you for putting both pictures side by side!
I have sat here almost all day looking at them. YIKES!
Love Ya
