Comment:
The first photo is the only time we as a family took a family portrait. My brother, Stan’s daughter was born a year later & does not like to be on social media. Which is why I don’t write her name here. ????is my ex sister-in-law and also not on social media. My daughter is Nicolette Mitchell as seen in the recent photo with me. |
