And I do have roots in all the counties that these lists cover. I beg you all to forgive me for posting this to the list. If I am barred from the list for misposting, I will have to accept that consequence. This evening is not a good time for me. I apologize for sounding like a cry baby, but maybe that is what I am. Do I have any friends/cousins out there who live in or near Orlando, Florida or who can give me suggestion on what to do? This evening marks five years since my son's wife Linda disappeared with their two children. They had lived with us for several years, so we were very close. Evidently, Mark and Linda were having troubles; he was drinking and she was doing drugs and running around on him. Linda accused Mark of beating her up and had him arrested. They took her and the kids to a shelter. Her tears smeared the "bruise" under her eye. She promised us they would be back at our house the next evening. We have not seen nor heard from them since. I don't know how other people would react to a situation like this, but it has broken my heart completely. I no longer am able to sleep or even concentrate. Perhaps I would be okay if I could at least find where they are for sure and maybe talk to them on the phone or receive a letter. Kevin Caudle was born February 13, 1987 but I'm sure he's at least two years behind in school. Susie Q Caudle was born April 15, 1989. Their mother is Linda Lisa Pittman Caudle unless she has remarried. Our son was never notified of a divorce though. My son did recently receive child support papers from Orlando, Florida, so I presume they are living there. Linda was born May 2, 1968. If any of you live there, could you please try to find her and ask that the kids be allowed to write me a letter or phone us collect. Our address is: Bud & Liz Caudle 1014 W. Mansur Guthrie, OK 73044 Telephone: 405-282-2398 At least, pray that the kids are okay and also for my mental and physical health. This is getting to me. Bud Caudle
