Dear Kathy, Thany you for the time you spent trying to contact me to help me with my search. My mother was susie and my grandmother was married to your uncle. I never heard of my grandmother called sue. We called her Bonnie. If you can find out anything i thank you. Donna Atwater

Donna...my dad Bill, was Edward Mikulin's brother. When Uncle Ed and Aunt Sue were alive we spent many, many hours with them and their son Matt. While growing up they either lived in Houston or in Baytown and we would spend nearly every weekend together. Your grandmother, Bonnie or Aunt Sue as we called her was a wonderfully sweet and fun woman. I loved her dearly. She made the best spam salad sandwiches. We loved to spend time in her home. She always made you feel welcome. We played a lot of cards and whenever there was a threat of a hurricane we would always meet at their house for a "hurricane party". A way to ride out the storm. I was saddened even as a teenager when she died. She was one of the sweetest women. Her and my mom were really close and were sister in laws but more importantly friends. I vaguely remember her name as being Bonnie. She told my sister one time that it was a good thing that she was pretty because she certainly couldn't sing. (We were singing Christmas carols or something. And Aunt Sue was right my sister can't sing.) Anyways, we tell that story quite often and it always makes us smile. I have very fond memories of your grandmother.

If you have any questions let me know and I will try to answer them.

I was glad to hear from you, but I never knew my grandmother as sue, I guess becouse my mom was Susie and we were really young when my mom died. Do you know from what my grandmother died from? My mother had Breast/Ovarian Cancershe died in her early 30's. I really don't know much about my grandmother are any of her family.I have had contact with Matt by email only but it has been months and my uncle has chosen to to respond to me trying to contact him. so maybe you have a few answers.Donna Whigham Atwater

Was your grandma, Aunt Sue, sister to Eleanora Zschech?

Hi Donna, I am your cousin,Lana Terese Mikulin-Stockell.Ed and Sue were my grandparents.I am 36 years old. Your mother's younger brother was my "sperm donor',but nevermuch else to me. So don't feel bad about how he treated you,he's a real piece of work! I was very close to our grandmother.I have old pix of our family.I even hav a pic of our grandmother when she was a small girl,it's beautiful.Unlike your uncle,I am more than happy to share all info I have on our grandmother.To answer your question as long as I can remember "Mamoo"'as I called her,suffered with really bad diabetes,so I'm pretty sure that was her cause of death. She died when she was 50. I responded to who I beleve is your sister also. I told her that I have no problem getting to know my cousins,that includes you and who ever else there may be. I have 2 brothers as well. I am 36,married with 3 sons,one of which I named after my grandfather,Edward. I live in CT. Where are you? E-mail me at lanaandeddy@msn.com I can't wait to hear from you! Your part of the familly has always been a mystery to me,maybe together,we can fill in some of the blanks.So contact me asap!!! Take Care, Lana

Bonnie (Sue) Mikulin was married to Edward Mikulin. Brother to Joe Mikulin. Joe Mikulin was married to my Aunt Sis (Given name escapes me). Aunt Sis was the sister to Louis
Zschech. Louis Zschech was married to Eleanora Zschech.

As for as I can remember....Mastin Mikulin

I will try to add a little to your query. I am a niece of Aunt Sue by marriage. My father, Thomas Mikulin, was brother to Edward Mikulin. There were 9 brothers and 3 sisters in that family. My mother, Normalie, and Aunt Sue were close sisters-in-law. The whole Mikulin family was very close. Aunt Sue's husband, Edward, is buried near Dime Box, Texas in Hranice Cemetery. I remember Aunt Sue as a loving person who was a great cook. We always looked forward to visits with Uncle Edward and Aunt Sue. I do remember her having diabetes. I wish I could help you more but I never got to know her side of the family. All of the bothers and sisters in the Mikulin family are deceased but there are three sisters-in-law living in Pearland, Spring, and Giddings, Texas who knew Aunt Sue.
