There are angels all around us...they are called friends.
My Family Tree
This is a tribute to my mom and dad and to all the people who came before me that gave me identity. It is a work in progress.
My Mother
My mom was Margaret Helen Weidner.
She was born December 19, 1930 in Baltimore, Maryland. That makes her a Sagittarius.
She had brown eyes and brown hair. She had 6 siblings: Four brothers Albert, Vernon, Marvin and Elmer and two sisters Doris and Sissy.
Her parents were Catherine and Albert Sr.
She died December 19, 1966, when I was only 6 years old. (Yes, she died on her birthday)
She is my Angelmom.
One of my favorite pictures of my mom, taken in 1945. She was 14 years old. Note the real penny loafers.
My Father
My dad was Raymond Henry Pope.
He was born November 5, 1927 in Baltimore, Maryland. That makes him a Scorpio.
He had green eyes and dark brown/black hair. He had four sisters Marie, Valerie, Mimi and Carol.
His parents were Mary and Raymond Wade.
He was in the Navy from 1945 to 1948. The picture above is his official Navy picture.
He died on March 1, 2006 in Anne Arundel County.
He is my Angeldad.
This is one of my favorite pictures of my dad. I don't know whenor where this was taken, but I'm pretty sure it was before I was born.

I miss them both and I look forward to the day I will see them again in Heaven.

This is me at age two and I'm not looking too happy. Ihave a picture of my son somewhere with the same look. If I find it, I will put it on here.
