Uncle (Master Sergeant) Billy Bob Sitton 7

I cried again. All morning at home. When Coleen calls back, first question to her, before I start crying again, is "name, rank, serial number". I have Mr. Manion's name, service number, and date of passing. Service number and wounds confirmed with Bonnie at the VA. I want her to tell me her dad's name, service number, and date of passing. I'm an IT guy. I work with numbers all day. The work can be mundane, but if one number is off, all hell breaks loose! Then I want to know names (spelled) and birthdates of everyone in her family from her father down. Then I want to know her and her mother's address there in Minnesota. Then I want to give her Uncle Bill's names (spellings), birthdates, address and descendents. Then I want to take no more of her time: I want her to call Uncle Bill, and I think she wants to call him. As much as I want to speak with her, I think. We're a close family, the Sitton's. I bet the Manion's are too. I had 5 sets of parents! All of them raised me as if I was their own. Being raised that way, I feel like Mr. Manion is my father too! I think this is why I'm crying: I've just found out I lost my father, in 1997. I'm so lucky to still have him through Uncle Bill. I think Coleen has her father back! I don't know if she has any siblings or not. If not, then it's just her and her mother now. Her mother has hearing problems.

Called Uncle Bill and Aunt Jeansie. Left a message: headsup, Coleen might be calling in the next couple days.
