~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is my Uncle Med. He was the little brother to my Dad. He was the 14th of 14 children born to Joseph Michael and Celestia Ann Brown.
Uncle Med and my dad where very close when they were growing up. I remember Uncle Med while he was married to Aunt Marva who is a very sweet lady. I remember his son selling me a parakeet that they had because it kept landing on Uncle Med's head and he did not like that.
His first marraige was to the sister of my mother. They had three children and then they divorced. I am not adding names in for privacy reasons. The children were adopted by their second Dad. With the exception of their first child Thelma who died at age 2.
REST IN PEACE UNCLE MED. I AM SURE YOU AND MY DAD ARE HAVING A GREAT TIME.
