Who Are They?

When Dan was a child, living in Seattle, he lost both his mother and father within a year of each other. Dan and his brother (two years older) both went to Texas to live with an uncle on his mother's side, named Wiley. Wiley was married to Lauretta, and they had three children of their own - Marci, Kathy and Mark.

A couple years ago Wiley and Lauretta moved to the Dallas area, to be closer to their daughter, Marci. Marci's step-daughter, Terye, who is a registered nurse, moved, with her son, from California to Dallas to live in the house with Wiley and Lauretta, and provide the 24-hour care they needed. What a blessing she was to the family!

About a year ago, Wiley passed away. Terye continued to take care of Lauretta until recently, when Lauretta went to live with her other daughter, Kathy, in Montana.

Update - September 23, 2008: Lauretta, also, passed away recently.
