Laraine's Family

My children are all adults now. Amazing!

I live in Rocklin, CA. Before moving here in 2002, we lived in Danville, CA near Oakland. I have 6 children, 5 daughters and 1 son. This picture was taken at Christmas 2007. Rebecca (aqua sweater) is the oldest and she teaches art in Littleton, CO. She just got married Aug 26th and is now living in Arvada, CO. She married Dawson Jones and we should have pictures soon. Juliann (black sweater, red hair) lives in San Francisco and works in photography and web design. Lindsay (black sweater, blond hair) also lives in San Francisco and works for a graphic design/advertising firm. Jessica (white shirt) and her husband Scott DiMaggio (baseball cap) are remodeling a cute home in Walnut Creek, CA. Jessica is a real estate appraiser and Scott works at the Berkeley labs. Jordan (tall blonde with white collar) and his wife, Candice (beautiful smile, brown hair) live in New York City. They both graduated from BYU in April and Jordan has a job at a big advertising company in NYC. Candice is still shopping for a fabulous job. Malorie (orange coat) and her husband, Richie Smith (tall with dark hair) live in Rocklin and work for Richie's dad's construction company. We were all together last weekend for Rebecca's wedding and we had a great time. I love spending time with my kids. They are great people.

Family at Dad's funeral (Keith Edward Bingham)



Many family members came to be with us at my Dad's funeral. Back row: Kelly, Barry, Doris Faye's husband, Doris Faye, Harold, Gatha, LaRue, Leon and David. Front row: Laraine, Barbara, Sue Ann, Mom (Erma Rae) and Dick. We were so glad to have these wonderful people together.



On March 9, 2008 my father passed away in Belen, New Mexico. My brother, Kelly, directed the construction of a beautiful casket for Dad. It is made of pine and cedar wood. All of my brothers and Sue Ann's husband, Keith, and many grandsons helped to make this beautiful casket. Sue Ann and I lined it. My brothers added Dad's brand. See the BoxK on the lid? In this picture, David, Laraine, Kelly, Mom, Sue Ann, Barry and Dick are standing by the finished casket.



My Dad's siblings came to be with us for the funeral that was held in Los Alamos, New Mexico. Doris Faye's husband, Doris Faye, Harold, Gatha, Barbara, LaRue, Leon and Mom (Erma Rae) are in this picture.
