Family

Last week we had the chance to see another one of the many Shoemaker cousins. This time it was Terry and his wife Beth. Their son, Joshua, was going home after serving a two year mission here in Pa. He had served in the Pittsburgh Mission, so since Terry and Beth were within 4 hours of here, they let family members know they were coming in for a quick visit. It was so nice to see them again. They both looked GREAT. I couldn't believe how little Beth had changed.... she still looks fantastic. Terry looked just like Uncle Cliff to me. And Joshua was only 7 or 8 the last time I had seen him. It was fun reminiscing.Here is a neat picture of all the cousins who managed to make it to Cindy's house. L to R: Ed, Brenda, Terry, Cindy, and Dan. Who knows how long it will be until we all get together again. It was a wonderful chance to make the best of precious time before it is too late. You never know how things are going to turn out, so every opportunity to see one another is great. Thanks again Terry and Beth for making it in to see all of us! Take care and know you are loved.

You're right! He looks exactly like Uncle Cliff. That's great that you were able to get together and take that picture.
