A Family of Tailors

Dad tells me this pic is of him and Aunt Josie, during one of his many visits to San Francisco.

The chic suit she is wearing was CREATED BY HER,,,,with no pattern! She asked my dad to help give it a lining so he took the suit back to the army base and created a lining. What you see in the pic is the finished product of their talented hands. My mom tells me Aunt Josie would often make suits by trying them on and pinning in place then sewing where she pinned, then back on again and pining and sewing and so on until she had a perfectly tailored ensemble!

Beloved Aunts

Several years ago around this time, my Godmother and Aunt was in the process of being called home to God; she passed on Nov 26.

I have so many pictures of Aunt Josie but am unable to find most of them, so I'm sharing a few my dad has in his collection of albums....

I stayed with Aunt Josie for a weekend in San Francisco many, many years ago, and she and Harry were so amazing. They were so excited to take me to Raiders football Game....although Aunt Josie refused to let me wear a Bears sweater!

On this day, Nov 22, many years ago Aunt Mary was welcomed home by God.

Happy Thanksgiving, Aunt Josie and Aunt Mary. You are missed by so many.
