Hi Jennifer: Did you know that October is Family History Month? Neither did I, till today.
        So, here's a bit to get you started. 
        My mom is Pat Zylstra- your mother's oldest sister. She is married to my Dad - John
        and they have four children as follows: Me (Nancy) , Shirley, Jack and Anne. We are all
        married and each of us has two children and we all live in Southern Ontario.I'm 40
        years old and I'm married to Steven - we got married June 12, 1999. We have two
        children (mine from a previous marriage). They are Chantelle - 19 years old and
        Matthew - 14 years old. Chantelle is @ University of Toronto right now and Matt is in
        Grade 9 @ Grimsby Secondary School. Matt plays hockey, so we spend a lot of time in
        the arena. As a family we enjoy ski-doing, going up north to our friends cottage,
        fishing. I'm a bookkeeper and my husband is an office manager for a book
        warehouse. My sister, Anne (she's the youngest in our family (35) and I'm the oldest)
        are very close. We used to work together but we don't anymore so we spend a lot of
        time on the phone. She is married to Mike and their last name is Enderby. They have
        two children, Elysia and Bradley. Elysia is in Grade 8 and I think Bradley is in Grade 6
        (or maybe 7). Both of them are quite active in baseball and volleyball. Anne doesn't
        have email but her phone # is 905-386-0259. My sister Shirley's last name is Lang
        and her significant other is Les. Her two boys' names are Patrick and Nicholas. My
        brother, Jack Zylstra is married to Mary and their two children are Mary and Mitchell.
        They live in LaSalette which is about 2 hours drive from the rest of us. Aunt Sandra,
        your mother's other sister lives right down the street from my Mom & Dad in Smithville.
        She lives alone (except for her dog) and we see quite a bit of her because she's
        usually with my Mom unless she's off to BINGO, her favorite passtime. Uncle Mike is
        married to Brenda. They haven't been married that long, I'd have to look up dates,
        maybe 5 years? Her children were already grown when they married. I don't know their
        names. Since Nanny & Grandad are both gone, there's not really been many times
        that all of my Mom's family has been together. The last couple of summers, I've been
        calling them to come to my house for a BBQ because,like you, I don't want to lose
        touch. I think my Mom was looking up names, dates, any family info she can find for
        your family tree. I'm also very interested in that part of the family tree. I know that you'd
        like to hear about Suzanne, so I can tell you what little I know, since I was only 11 when
        she passed away. She was my favorite Aunt (don't tell Aunt Sandra that or I'll be in her
        bad book) I remember that she worked in a hairdressing salon and whenever I went to
        Nanny & Grandad's she would take me in to the shop with her. I would get fussed
        over, have my hair and nails done and I loved getting to go with her. For a long time, I
        thought I wanted to be a hairdresser. I thought Aunt Suzanne always looked really
        pretty and she was lots of fun. I was very heartbroken when I learned that she had
        passed away. Not too much was said about what had happened but everyone was
        really devasted. My parents didn't let me go to the funeral, so it didn't seem real to me
        for a very long time. My Mom can probably fill in a lot more blanks about that time than I
        can. When I was very young, I had named the angel on our family xmas tree, Suzie
        after Aunt Suzanne and the angel I have on my family tree now has the same name. I
        can tell you lots about Nanny & Grandad, if you like, because I visited them a lot when I
        was a kid and I tried to visit often when I had kids of my own. They were really great
        and I miss both of them. I should go now, my son is waiting to go online before bed.
        Feel free to email me, I'd love to hear from you! Love Cousin Nancy
