Dear to My Heart

Being Valentine’s Day, it is perfect timing to introduce (or reacquaint you with) the ones that are dearest to my heart - my family.

My son Mark (passing in 1993)
My son Cameron, wife Barbara, and granddaughters Zoe (passing in 1996), Madison & Cassidy live in the SF Bay area
My daughter Kellee lives in the SF Bay area
My daughter Alisha & grandson Preston live in Oregon
My husband Gene lives with me on the Central California Coast

Oh my goodness, Madison and Cassidy are so grown up! Cameron and Barbara were so kind to me when I first married Rod...I miss them! And Kellee is one of my all time favorite singers!

You must feel so blessed!

Loved this post, Thanks for sharing these pictures!

Ahh! It's so good to see pictures of the family! I haven't seen Cameron and Alisha in YEARS!!! I got to see Kellee a couple years ago in San Jose. And... Bro. Hopper looks exactly like I remember him! All of your grandkids are beautiful.

Awww....I love the pics-they all are so beautiful! I remember Mark always called me "Scary May" and for some reason he called Joyce Stewart "Pancake". I'll never forget!!!

Karen J. Hopper said...

Kari, That's right. Mark had names for everyone, and he never forgot the "kooky" names he entitled to a person. I remembered yours but had forgot about Joyce's.

Brooke,
It is so good to hear from you, and I am so glad you stumbled onto my site. It has been ages, hasn't it? My family has grown quite a bit since you last saw them, with lots of additions. We hold you and your family very dear to our hearts. Pray all is well. Do come back to visit. Love you and miss you too.

Oh, Sis. Hopper! I can't believe how much your grandchildren look like your own children not so many years ago! I just happened upon your blog tonight and have really enjoyed looking at all your posts. I sure wish you were closer right now...I need a hug and bet you could use one, too!

Love, Nancy Rogers

Nancy,
I have been having trouble with my laptop so have missed some posts, and sorry not to answer yours sooner. So glad you found my site, and hope you will visit from time to time (as your busy schedule allows-being mom is full-time in itself). It is surprising how the grandchildren remind me so much of my children when they were young. Sending you hugs and love, Sis Hop
