To our dear family and friends,
This year 2019, God had blessed us and gave us many reasons to be thankful.
The family is doing well, growing and healthy. Summer and Autumn are living permanently with Thommy and April, going to a new school here in Franklinton that they like. James surprised us with a welcome visit. Patricia and David came to visit us for the Allen reunion.
It has been a very sad year for Chile after the continues destruction by communist terrorist. We thank to God that the family is fine. My mother is stable and with a very positive spirit. Enjoying our company when we are able to go to Chile.
We took the granddaughters Summer, Autumn and Melissa to historical sites of North Carolina to learn about the history of our state and about their ancestors. Visited their graves and plantations.
I have to be thankful to my students, they had brought me great happiness seeing their accomplishments and paintings.
The painting in the top is the “Children Sleigh Ride” inspired by my husband Thom’s three children Thommy, Patricia and James, playing in the snow when they were small. Joyful days of growing up in their beautiful farm in Franklinton, North Carolina.
God bless you on this Holiday Season of 2019 and bring you lots of happiness for 2020,
Thom and Clina

Ha sido un año muy triste para Chile por la continua destrucción echa por los terroristas comunistas. Agradecemos a Dios porque la familia esta bien. Mi madre esta estable y con buen espíritu, disfrutando nuestra compañía cuando podemos ir a Chile.
Llevamos a las nietas Summer, Autumn y Melissa a visitar lugares históricos de Carolina del Norte para aprender sobre la historia de nuestro estado y sus ancestros. Visitamos sus tumbas y plantaciones.
La pintura es “Niños en el trineo de nieve” inspirada por los tres hijos de Thom, Thommy Patricia y James jugando en la nieve cuando eran pequeños. Días felices creciendo en su lindo fundo en Franklinton, Carolina del Norte.
Que Dios los bendiga en estas fiestas Navideñas 2019 y les traiga muchas felicidades el 2020,
