A Little TLC and Mother and Son Ready for the World
Hi Fam,
This weekend ended Erica's stay in the Bronx before heading back home with little Brian. Here we have grandmother, mother and son all dressed up or the long drive. I do have to say, Erica learned a lot about motherhood and the basic caring of Brian by Esther. We know she's going to be a great mother as she goes on.
Here's the little bundle. Small note; he slept all the way home on the 5 hour drive.

Who Can Ask for Anything More
Hi Fam,
This has been a good week, with three things happening, and will like to share with all. This week, at 7 days old, we will like to welcome Mr. Brian Osoria into this crazy new world. This wonder-child is a product from Erica Abbott. Here we see a picture of Esther (Erica's mom) holding the little bundle of joy. Erica is at this time recovering and not able to give a good picture with her hair still in shock mode.
While in Utica, I met up with a dear friend and old colleague. Who would have thought that I would run into someone 300 miles away and living 2-3 blocks from Erica while visiting her in Albany. My good friend Leo:
And, to top it off, the wife makes this spectacular cake. Yes, it taste as good as it looks. Don't even think about asking for a piece, half was eaten by me (have to do an additional 5 rounds Monday) and don't think it's going to last past Sunday. Life isgood GREAT !!!!

Coming Together at Last
Hi Fam,
What a month(and last)!!! Thus far, we have had an influx of emails and correspondences in connection with the family I have not experienced in a very long time. Family members have been able to connect to others that they have not seen or spoken to in a long time. I was especially glad to hear from the Standard family; Michele, Warren Jr. and Venus, who stood out as a missing link to me, as Tanty Eva always spoke of Leroy and his family.
I can see a family reunion coming very soon either this or next year. What is more important than knowing where you came from, and where your link fits into the family history are most important? I just learned my second cousin Warren Jr. worked 2 blocks from me in Manhattan (though I am no longer there) it just goes to show how, maybe, we've passed each other multiple times and not even thought about that next person. My eldest brother Julian works in the same hospital as cousin DD, lol, how's that for coincidence? How many more coincidences are out there?????? I hope a lot more, will keep everyone up to date as more connections are made.

Tanty Eva's Farewell Homecoming
Hi Fam,
Today, we said goodbye to Tanty Eva as she is now going to join her siblings in Heaven. She was buried next to her loving husband; Carewe. It was a peaceful and well represented send off by the family and friends. I will continue to commit to her dream of keeping the family's history alive through the website we both worked hard on. Take care Tanty Eva and we love you.

Celebrating Merlin's Birthday this month
Hi Fam,
Though we're mourning Tanty Eva's untimely departure from this plane of existence, we must still celebrate life, and so, we must cherish everyday we have with our loved ones. Merlin have always been the rock and light that carries the love of the whole family in her heart, and we again want to acknowledge that out loud. We had a great time at the Korean Garden, where Merlin and Cherrie Ann was treated to a whole new palate of foods from afar. We laughed and joked all night and as every family should, we enjoyed each other's company. Enjoy the pics.
