They had 2 girls and 1 boy. . . one of the girls being my mom Patti.In the country of Colombia there were two couples - one couple Louis and Poti had eight children and one of the boys were Carlos(I do not have any old pictures of any of Carlos' grandparents)

- Stella and her husband had one little girl Myriam. They then came to America to find the American dream and settled in New Jersey.
Years later, Carlos found his true love Myriam. They had five children - one them being Carlos.
Carlos Alberto born July 18, 1961Back in Indiana Tom met the love of his life Patti. They went on to have 4 children . . .one of them being Emily.
