Kelly Wedbush This is when Holly came to San Francisco to help me after Lilly was born. She took really good care of us. We took Lilly over to the pottery painting place and painted the bottom of her feet to put on clocks for Mother's Day (for the grandmas!). We were laughing so hard because we felt awful for her, she was screaming so hard.

Dylan Wooters Mom came out for 4th of July after I moved to New York. We walked over to the west side of Manhattan to watch the fireworks over the Hudson. We had a late dinner at this gay-friendly Cowboy-themed restaurant in the West Village, and then walked back to my apartment. It was a warm night and the city was full of energy. I've always had fond memories of that night.

Dylan Wooters Jim and Mom. I'm thinking this might be big sister visiting the fraternity house. Look at Jim's outfit!
Sharing a room with you all those years made us close. We lost touch but found our way back, and it was if the years apart just melted away. I love you and will miss you immensely.
Connie Worden On my 13th birthday you baked me a cake in the shape of a Cherry Tree with an axe because I was born on Washington's Birthday. I loved it! You were always so thoughtful!

Tina Brady I am heartbroken to loose my sister. I had hoped we would be able to grow old together. I know she is in a happier place now, but I will always miss the good times we had traveling together with and without family, and raising our families. She was such a caring person and loved knowing every detail of what was happening with all the nieces and nephews and grand nieces and nephews. Rest in Peace my dear little sister and now give your love to all those who went before you.
Dylan Wooters Happy Birthday mom. Thinking of you today. Love you and miss you.
