Granny died May 12, 1992 - 4 months before I started university. He had an older half brother - Olin Green who was raised by Granny's sisers as he did not want to go to Toronto with Granny. His other brother was Larry Jacobs. Larry died 4 years ago. He also had a sister, my mother, Debbie Blair (married name: Drakes). You are my first cousin. My name is Rhonda. You have a half brother - Terry, who had a brother, Walter who passed away when he was almost 14 from an asthma attack. Granny was married to James Blair - Uncle Jim's father. Your father died from cancer. He and your Mom moved me in to help with you when you were an infant. Uncle Jimmy fought to stay alive because he wanted to see you reach your first birthday. He got to do that. He was my favourite uncle. I could not bring myself to attend his funeral I was so heartbroken. Granny was born on April 27t! h, 1923. She died from liver disease. I loved her so much. I was the closest to her.
