Jessica,
I am the one who has been talking to Jackie. I found her first on the Internet and then on Classmates.com. Sarah and I found each other first by a crazy coincidence and since then have been unraveling the Beabout family tree and finding alot of cousins. You and I would be second cousins. My dad Harold is your grandfather, Paul Beabout's, brother. I am so thrilled to find some of my dad's family. My mom is very old and not well and I have no one left on her side that I have kept in contact with. Long story. Anyway, my dad was a jerk who left me and my mom when I was five for another woman 20 years older than himself. He is still a drunk and a womanizer who is driving his brother Jim Hartman crazy.
Anyway, I have moved beyond all that and got my life together, thanks to the good Lord. I found out that Sarah's mom lives in Seattle a few hours away from me and we have met and had lunch together. It was such a thrill to have a cousin - family so close. Then I found my long lost Aunt Lois in Florida. (She last saw me when I was an infant and that is a really long time ago LOL).
I would really love to get to know you and your sisters better. My regular email is
pearson.dandb@verizon.net and my cell phone number is 360-632-1931. Please feel free to call or email anytime. Also take a look at the family tree I have going. If you can fill in any blanks (names/dates) for your dad, uncle Terry (his family if any) and your mom please do so. God Bless,
Barb
