its been a while..

Memorial day weekend was not a fun one this year for us.. My uncle Renato Passed away on Thursday.. I have introduced my cuz Chentz well, his dad passed he was a GREAT man .. i don't have enough fingers to count how many times he bailed me out of a jam or picked me up at the greyhound in downtown LA or go to court with me .. I could go on.. but it was really hard to see my family in those circumstances.. My Dad said on the way down " why is it we don't make time to get together when we are a live instead of getting together when someone passes.. it had been years since i had seen some cuzin's but it was nice.. here are some pics of the weekend .. we tried to allow the boys to enjoy the trip.. so I do apologize if i missed something.. a call , a lunch.. a meeting.. i had family business to attend too..

after the funeral they told us to say cheese and mean it..

Grandma Fairbanks IS Resting....

Grandma Fairbanks Funeral was Wed, March 4.. It was sad but at the same time bitter sweet. She did not want to hang around here with out Grandpa they had been married about 62 years.. Together Forever.. It was nice to see family again.. I do miss the family get togethers.. so here is a glimpse of Grandma's Funeral .. after the gravesite we all went to grandmas for lunch.. that was a sad to be there and them not there .. we visit them lots .. we had the most elegant dinners at her house.. both of my boys learned to walk there.. and she always had a camara near by... We are going to Miss Her..

Grandma Fairbanks Followed Grandpa

How sad it is for me to write this post.. Yesterday we lost Grandma Fairbanks, as you all know we lost Grandpa on Sunday 2/22/09 and laid him to rest on Friday,2/27/09. Today we received a call that just broke Isaic's heart his Grandma had Passed. It's like Grandpa came to get his soul mate. and know they are together. again...
How bitter sweet it all is. So Please keep the Fairbanks in your prayers as we all morn two wonderful Grandparents.
