Hello Craig,
Merry Christmas from a distant relative you’ve never met, I’m sure. I am your Dad’s cousin from Rayne, La. I suppose you heard your Dad talk about Rayne and Aunt Hilda (with a house full of kids) Well, she was my Mom. She and your Grandfather, Martin, were brother and sister. I loved Uncle Martin, but never really got to see much of him and Aunt Bea, because they always lived so far away (continents away!) Sadly, when they moved back home, illness took him away all too soon! But, when they were around, your Dad would come play with my brothers. They were all rascals, including your Dad. I could go on and on, but I really wanted to tell you Merry Christmas, and that you have a lot of relatives praying for you. Thank you so much for what you are doing. I am glad that your Uncle Fritz sent me your picture and informed us about where you are. God Bless You. Your relative, Helen Hebert Menard, Rayne, Louisiana.
