Fairley-Foskey Family Reunion

T

he Fairley-Foskey clan has celebrated seven great years of getting together. We may not be as many as others, but we have had a blessed time at each gathering. There is nothing like getting together with family, even if your parents are gone on to glory and you have only siblings. Spend every moment you can with them because you never know when it may be your last time getting together.

The most recent Fairley-Foskey Family Reunion was held in Philadelphia, Mississippi, with members from North Carolina, Maryland and Kentucky. We tried a four-day reunion this year, which worked out really well. We had a meetand-greet at my house on Thursday. Friday was a fish fry and Bingo at the Log Cabin

in Northside Park. Our Western BBQ was Saturday at the Philadelphia-Neshoba County Senior Citizen Building in Northside Park, where everyone came dressed in their cowboy and cowgirl attire. We had lots of food, games and horses to ride. The next Fairley-Foskey Family Reunion will be in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. From Sandra Lyons, Philadelphia, Mississippi

T

he first Darrell Family Reunion was held in Georgia. A year earlier, our cousin passed away and we were told not to tell Uncle Otis, who was 75 years old and not doing well. But the family decided we better tell him and a week later he passed away. Uncle Otis was so big on family, we decided to have our family reunion in his honor. It was beautiful. We decided our second reunion will be five days aboard a Norwegian Cruise Line ship. Shared by Tonia Mack, Bronx, New York
