REFN: 8634 [lillief.ged] Aline Jane is not kin to me. But her mother Bertha was married to my U nc le Tom. Tom was married before also. He had a son who he let his In-La ws r aise. I do not have the marriage date far Tom an Bertha so I do n ot kn ow if she died before her mother married my uncle. I was bo rn in 19 41 so at least 9 years had passed after her death. Tom did not w ant to ra ise his son Thomas. But Thomas Jr. told me that Bertha always ma de him fe el welcome. We lived very close to my Aunt and Uncle and my Au nt always ma de me and Ann, my sister , feel very special. I think it w as because we to ok a small part of the the hurt away from losing this chi ld. Even as a gro wn adult when I would visit my Aunt Bertha she made ov er that I had co me to visit with her. I have added Aline Jane because I f eel she is a lo st sister to me and I do not want my Aunt Bertha's chi ld to become lo st in time because my Aunt Bertha was a very special pers on to me.
