Today would have been Daddy's 64th birthday. Uncle Wayne gave me a cd of photos of Daddy to use for the funeral. I picked a few of my favorites to share today.
Daddy was the youngest of 7 children...5 girls and 2 boys. Grandmama had a baby just about every 2 years. This is the only family photo I've ever seen of all of them as children/teenagers (and one is missing). The older girls married and moved out while Daddy was still quite young. In every photo I've seen of Grandpapa, he was wearing a hat. Needless to say, that's Daddy in the front making a funny face.
This photo was of Daddy, Mom, John and me around Christmas 1970 or early 1971. 
Here are the 7 Hanks "children" again...just many years later.

Top row L-R: Aunt Wilma, Aunt Betty, Aunt Rita, Aunt Novis
(I think this was taken in April 2007 at Grandmama's 94th birthday. Aunt Margie was unable to attend due to her health but my uncle added her to the photo.)

Aunt Margie might have not been there for the picture but she was there because I saw her there when I went by the house.
