Miss Stella, I have often thought abt a women I met years ago in OR. She had 6 daughters and said they were going to keep trying until they had a son.I had 2 sons at the time and no daughter.I wonder whatever became of her.

Sent: Jan 21, 2010 05:28 Belle, I sat down here, one Saturday and tried through every known means to locate all my old neighbors, in Oak Ridge Tn, where I lived the first three years of my marriage, and had two babies there.Only thing I had to go on, was names and some had talked about the state they were from. I had one girl across the street from me, who was about 12 years older, had four kids,and a very unhappy marriage. All she talked about was something he had done to displease her. It seemed to me he was a very hard working, easy going man. Guess she did not love him. She was very pretty and kept herself all 'fixed' at all times. She was the only person I found, because I knew he was from the little town of Oliver Springs...and he had a lot of brothers there...so I asked operator for his name there...got a son of theirs. He told me his Dad had died about twenty years ago with heart attack, and Marge was in a nursing home in a town not too far away...and didn't even know any of them anymore. I cried my eyes out. I still see her perfectly clear, laughing and hugging and kissing on her kids a lot, she had a beautiful singing voice....and she loved country music, and bought all new records.I cannot imagine her any other way. I asked Jerry to talk to her about me...tell her I love her, and remember our trip to Nashville.He said if he got any response, he would call me. I didn't hear. I tried several states in white pages for people that I never found.. The neighbors I had in Selma, where I lived until I came up here...have passed on...one by one...a few of the women left. It is very sad to me. I start to send a card...or call...and remember. I lost my oldest brother two years ago and it seems like yesteray.Stella ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T
