The Gonzalez Family

My cousin Peter and his wife, Chrizelle, had their first baby on October 21st which is also my dad's birthday. They named him Joel Kirby Ransom and he weighed 7 lbs 8 ounces (1 ounce bigger than Mikey when he was born). He is such a precious little baby and we are excited to welcome him to the family!!

On Monday, July 19th, my younger brother, Todd, passed away. We miss him very much. The funeral was on July 26th and he was buried at the Orem cemetery. His obituary is found at: http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/deseretnews/obituary.aspx?n=todd-ransom&pid=144246519 . Our family also created a website in his memory at http://www.toddransom.org . It would be great if everyone could go visit our website and share any memories you have of Todd on the memory blog. We are trying to get enough hits so that it will come up when someone does a google search. Thanks everyone for your love and support during this very difficult time for our family! We have felt such an outpouring of love and we feel so blessed to have such wonderful friends and family members.
