My mother, Sarah Lawler died in an auto accident in 1990. She was 42 at the time of
the accident. My father, Michael, has had no serious illnesses during his life---only
spending time in the hospital when my brother and I were born. Sam is my younger
brother. He is 24 years old and is unmarried. He also has been very healthy. I have 5
cousins on my dad’s side of the family---four from Aunt Bertha (one died in infancy) and
one from Uncle Charlie. The four who are still living are all relatively close to me in age.
I don’t remember anything genetically related---although I do remember broken bones
and a case of appendicitis once. My mother has three sisters: Mary, Aunt Elizabeth (a
nun since her early adulthood), and Aunt Cassie, who is a nurse and has one son who
is about the same age as my brother. His name is Roy. He has a wife and a young son
named Jacob. Jacob is only a few months old and had some jaundice right after he
was born. I don’t remember Roy having any genetic caused diseases.
