The Extended Family

posted in: The Stories of Erie PA | 0

By Kathleen Whitford, August 2, 2017 — Will, my husband’s brother, committed suicide so we took in his 3 kids. It was ok because I was having trouble having kids of my own and one of them was sick. Then we took in some of their cousins so we had quite the extended family, but we raised all of them and I loved every minute of it. They are my kids and now i have grandkids and loving that too. And every one of them knows the story, we didn’t keep anything from them.
