I had my daughter scan all of Sharin's photos that were in her house and am making them available to family and friends. She may well have some pictures of family members that no one else has. Please visit this link to look and download any of the pictures you would like (Okay I relize it is a really long link but I don't have a way of changing that so I would cut and paste).  https://www.dropbox.com/sh/9s5x77k4dwbmjea/AABhnOO2VqXunDOAwO3gTvKsa
