Uncle Bob & Aunt Jane

Monday June 11, 2012

Early this morning, my Uncle Bob Kimmell and Aunt Jane stopped by on their way from Napa, California headed to Montana to meet my other Uncle Pat Dougherty & Aunt Lynne. Uncle Bob is my dad's only brother. It was so much seeing him. He reminds me so much of my dad that it felt a little like my dad was here. Bob & Jane brought two of my grandfather’s captains chairs for Tyler & Andrea as a wedding gift. I haven’t seen my aunt & uncle in many, many years. It was wonderful to visit with them for a short time. 

As Lincoln was visiting with Uncle Bob, I had a chance to chat with my Aunt Jane. She was concerned about my diagnosis and how I'm doing with everything. I reassured her that I feel a great peace that all will be well and that I truly believe the Lord has a lot more in store for me to do here upon the earth before my time is through. 

At the end, my Uncle Bob said, “Now Lisa, you are my genealogy connection. I recently found out about a cousin that I never knew I had and she is very into family history. She has s website with a huge amount of information regarding your grandmother Geraldine Mills Kimmell side of the family. It is the Selover Family. I’d love to give you a dvd and show you the website with all that information, if you are interested?” 

I was thrilled to find out about it. He said this website has names, dates and lots of photos of the people from my grandmother’s maiden side of the family. How exciting is that! I have a lot of work to do when I get through this chemo and get well again.

See, I do believe that the Lord has a lot more for me to accomplish before my journey here on earth is over. Today was another ‘confirmation’ that this is truly the case. I’m so excited to get to work on it.
