A Celebration of Life

On Saturday, April 17, 2010, almost 100 family members and friends gathered at the Omni-Colonnade Hotel in San Antonio to celebrate the birthday of our sister-in-law, Maria C. Jordan. She is married to Anne’s twin brother, George/June/Tony (depends when and where you knew him).

It was not called a “birthday party” but a celebration of life as Maria is a survivor. It was a surprise for her…she thought she was going out to dinner with Tony and her son and daughter-in-law. I understand that it was quite a feat for Tony to keep it from her but he managed to do just that. Good job!

On hand were Maria’s sisters and their families, many friends from church and work, and the best surprise of all…her best friend since high school came all the way from California. June's son Tyrone, his wife and son were there also. It was our first time meeting Patricia and Xavier.

The following pictures taken by June and Maria's neighbor reflect the wonderful time we all had. Enjoy!!
