Changing family news

This week, my half-sister from my Dad's first marriage, Joanne (Borton) Terry, died. She would have been 72 next week. I enjoyed visits with her sons, Jeff and Jack, with whom I was close when we were growing up, being roughly the same age. Last night was Joanne's visitation, and today the service at the cemetery - Oak Grove in Morenci, where my Dad is also buried. Before Joanne's service, Mom and I went to Dad's grave, as well as that of his parents - my namesake, Allen Borton (1872-1934) and my Grandmother Libbie (Fuller) Borton (1873-1966), whose lap I can remember sitting on as I read to her while still a young boy.
