Cecelia M. Goldthwaite, nee Paurazas

I was Hunting obituaries for my family, and came across aunt Ceal's listing. My name is Christopher Paul Goldthwaite. I am the son of Dorothy and Robert Goldthwaite. I remember visiting aunt Ceal and uncle Don as a child. Don was my father's brother. Although memories in my past are not what they used to be, for some reason I can recall vivid memories of my early childhood that I seem to have retained with clarity. I can remember both Ceal and Don's face like it was last week. Ceal with her affection towards me and Don's huge smile. I have very fond memories of them. I remember Don giving my dad a box of Ivory soap and me a oversized Green Giant kite. Both of my parents, and two of my three older brothers are gone also. I had to stop several times writing this because I couldn't see through my tears. When my father died my next oldest brother, Jeff where all that were still alive and my father had left his home and belongings for us to split. The money and belongings were to be split between us. My father had a lot of old family photos. Because a lawyer was handling his requests, my brother didn't share any of his belongings with me. I wouldn't have minded if he were to send them to me so I could make digital copies and sent them back, but as I said I never seen them. Now all that remains is my visual memory of my Aunt and Uncle's faces, so I guess that's all I have left and I'm fortunate my recall of those early days of my life are all I have left and I'm thankful for that. I'm not sure who this will be forwarded to, so I'm not sure if we've even met. But I'm sorry for your loss, and I'm sorry that I haven't conveyed my condolences before now, but I only accidently came across this information. God bless, and know I'm with you in that loss. It feels to me like it just happened. I know my Aunt and Uncle are happy where they are because they left all the burdens of our world behind them.
