Happy Birthday
Ann Marshall Harris
DOB 12/19/75

My girl was born on a Friday morning. The following Thursday was Christmas. Christmas 1975 was the best Christmas ever!

I LOVE this girl.

When Ann was just 6 months old, she was injured in a very traumatic accident. Her skull was fractured in several places, and she suffered a concussion. Fortunately she made a full recovery. However, when it was "the normal" time for Ann to start talking and communicating, she didn't! She didn't talk, and she didn't smile. She was pretty stoic. I prayed and prayed that she would start talking, and in time, my prayers were answered. Once she started talking, she NEVER stop. In fact, one of her many talents, is her "gift of gab".

Beautiful inside and out!

Happy Birthday Dad!
DOB ~ 16 Dec 1915 ~

My dad would have been 93 today!

I have tons of fond memories of my father. He was a very talented man. He taught me so many "life lessons". My dad's father, lived until his 93rd year! I always thought my dad would enjoy a long life too! But, his life was cut short. If I follow in my dad's footsteps, I'll only be here 5 more years! WOW. I better shape up. Sure do miss him. My children and grandchildren would have loved ol' CR.
Dad played the guitar, and Under the Double Eagle was always my favorite tune.

Robert LeRoy Marshall
~Terry's big brother~

I love this man, and I don't think there is a person in this world who does not love him. I always think of him on December 15th, his birthday.

He loves people - all people - the young, the old, and all those in-between.

He loves his beautiful and talented wife Janice! They are equally yoked. He loves his wonderful children and their spouses. He loves his grandchildren, and they love him. He loves babies. He is always drawn to the baby in the room. And he's got the touch. He can soothe and quiet any baby.
He loves the elderly. He is always the one who makes sure the old folks have someone to lean on. That someone is usually him. He is intelligent, knowledgeable and he is continually learning. He's funny!
He shares. Many of us are fortunate enough to have at least one of his beautiful paintings. He is a famous artist. Just do a Google search - he's out there! He is SO talented, yet he knows “unto whom much is given much is required”. He has given much to many! Bob has taught me so many things. I used green print here, because Bob taught me about the color green. Click to learn about the color green.
