Wishing a very Merry Christmas, to all of the Oeser family.

As Christmas Eve approaches, I cannot help but remember all
the Christmastime gatherings, at the home of my grandparents Ruth and Ernest
Oeser. I have been thinking today, of how
much I miss those times, and all of the Oeser family. Many of our loved ones have passed away over the
years and they are foremost in my thoughts. Remembering my Mama and Daddy, Lola Mae and Ernest Oeser. Remembering my brother Ernest III, and his son Paul. Remembering my grandparents, Mama and Papa Oeser. Remembering my uncle Robert Oeser and his wife
Millie. Remembering my uncle Jimmy
Oeser. Remembering my uncle "Peanut" Paul Oeser. Remembering my aunt Dot Carlton. Remembering my Aunt Margaret Allen and her husband
Russell. Margaret kept us together for many
years after my grandparents died, by opening her home on Christmas Eve. Remembering my aunt Ruth Massey and her husband Prentice. Remembering my cousin Terry Oeser. Remembering my cousin Rusty Allen. Remembering my cousin
Sean Ford. Remembering my cousins in-law, Michael West and Jack
Mencer. Remembering Wyncie Bouge, the
sweet little granddaughter of my cousin Larry. Remembering Wyncie's grandmother, Darlene. Tonight, when Jimmy and I gather
with our children and grandchildren, I will pause for just a moment to remember
some of those long past Christmas Eves.
