Hi again,
Aunt Lillie died July of 1996. We went west and left Uncle Bert kid's in WA for MT. When we got there Maxine told us that her mother was buried two days before. It was so bad that she didn't even send her obit to her sister Aunt MaryAnn in CA. My cousin,Jakes's daughter, was with us and she sent the obit to CA. They had a bunch of albums on the back proch. Said that they were going to burn them. Kate and I went through them and took alot out. Lillie had four children. Dale died in the '50's, Killed in an auto train accident there in Plains. Sharon is in Alaska. Jeanette(who I was close to) died in the early 90's.Maxine is still in Plains, MT but seems not to want anything to do with the family.Uncle Herb died in the late 70's early 80's. Aunt Lillie was in a nursing home her last 3 or 4 years. I taught Mentally Retarded and Learning Disabled for 34 years. Retired 5 years ago. My husband has 2 years to go. Yes , I would live to have a picture of your folks. Do you have any pictures of the Kroekers? I have one with Anna Wurms on it. I would love to send it to you but I do not have a scanner. Would have to be snail-mail. Dale gasve me the Naturalization papers for my granddad and showed me your father's. I sent to the Historical Societ for Jacob Kroekers. Would be glad to send that to you too.I also have a picture of the Kroekers son Jacob with his wife and two children. The second wife in SA
