Extended Family

The Maresh extended side of the family was able to get together one night for dinner.  Most of them live in Denver and we see them sporadically, but some of the family members that live in California were in town and we were able to see them as well.  These are Scott's second or third cousins (Grandma Ann's first cousins).

Gary, and his wife Sheridith, were in from California.  They also brought one of their daughters, Hannah, and her son, Jaxson.  Jaxson and Carter are about the same age and were fast friends.

It was a great little get together and meant a lot for everyone to spend time with each other.  Sadly, two of the four cousins, Gary and Nancy, died within a month of everyone getting together.  Nancy from cancer and Gary unexpectedly from a heart attack while they were in town.  It makes you realize how fast things can change in life and to treasure your loved ones that much more.
