Cathi,

Of course, as your Aunt Virginia, I am happy to share with you your Tift / Tefft family ancestry dating back to 1614 (in the United States anyway). I can also share with you Curtis family ancestry dating back to the 1500s in England.

For more than two years I have had your address taped to my computer monitor: 1740 SW St. Lucie W. Blvd #119, Port St. Lucie, Florida 34986. I have hesitated to write, because I have not known where to begin. I wonder often how you and Kelli and your families are doing.

Aunt Sharmin gave me your address between my trips to Sheridan in January and February 2009 to handle Grandpa Clayton's problems with his wife, Gwen. She filed for divorce from him in December 2008. I handled the trial in February 2010. Gwen was ordered by the judge to pay Grandpa a chunk of money that she had diverted into her sole name.

Grandpa Clayton is 87 now and living in an assisted living home in Sheridan: Beehive Home, 561 Avoca Avenue, Sheridan, WY 82801 (tel: 307-672-1881). His telephone number directly into his room is 307-674-6142; I call him every day around 12:40 p or 5:40 p MDT when he is at the table finishing his lunch or supper.

I am driving to Sheridan Friday morning for my thirteeth trip since January 2009. He will be thrilled to know I have heard from you. He is in reasonably good health now that he has someone to take good care of him; Gwen did not do a very good job, in my opinion. Grandpa did not want to come to Salt Lake City to live with me and my husband. He wanted to stay in Sheridan where he was born and where he has lived the past 33 or so years.

Aunt Sharmin and Uncle Skip are both living in Sheridan in a rental home. The ground where their mobile home was located on Big Horn Avenue was sold and they had to move about eight or so years ago. The trailer was pretty much a wreck, so they moved into a rental home. Skip had hip replacement surgery about four years ago. I spoke with Sharmin this morning to invite her to dinner with Dad and me when I am in Sheridan. She said, "No." She is angry with me.

Cousin Amy works as a dietetic aide in a nursing home in Gillette. She lives with her boyfriend Wesley; they have been together since about 1993, I think.

My son Brandin lives in St. Louis with his spouse, Anthony (they got married in California during the brief period gay marriage was legal there). Brandin works as an attorney for a pharmaceutical benefit management company, ExpressScripts.

My son Curtis lives in West Bloomfield, Michigan, with his wife, Christy, and their three children, Cameron (14), Catherine (12) and CJ (Curtis Jr., 10). Curtis is a GPS engineer with the OnStar division of General Motors. He is in charge of the team developing OnStar's improved vehicle technology package.

My telephone number is 801-583-0625. My email address is lee2sky@aol.com. I think I am on Facebook, although I have never posted anything on my page and I never go there. I only got a page, because people have friended me and a person has to get a page to respond to a friend request. At least, I think so.

I understand you are a nurse. Good job! I would love to hear how Stormi, Madelyn and Ellis are doing, and how Kelli and her children are doing.

God BLess Us, Every One.

Love,

Aunt Virginia
