OOPS! I just realized that it wasn't Leslee that was born at home........maybe Mark? It was 1958 or 1959.

I lost track of the Theis family after we all graduated high school. I first met your Husband/Dad/Grandpa in 1953. His sister, Lynnda and I were best friends at that time. We all lived in the old Navy projects on Gibbs Ave in Alameda. If I were to pull an immediate memory of Harry, I would tell you that we kids used to play "Army". I was always the nurse. Whenever, Harry was wounded, he was sent to the hospital and I would give him a kiss to make him all better and send him back to the battlefield :-)) We were only 8 yrs old at that time!

I did not know that Lynnda and Leslee had also passed away. Leslee was born at home and I remember Lynnda coming to my house, excited that she'd seen her sister come into the world. so, many memories of this family.

My sincerest condolences to all of you.
