Last time I was in Holbrook Christine got a Serority magazine. I leafed through it and saw they had a Poetry contest winners poems listed. One of them named Footprints got me to thinking about my footprints. The part that really impressed me is:
"Have I touched anyone's life
In a way they'll recall,
Has my being here
Really mattered at all."
I started wondering how my children will react when I go, and I decieded that they would all sit around and laugh about what a goofball their mother was. How many weird manerisms I have, and they would have a really good giggle. Christine is of the opinion that her girls will all get to gather and dance around her grave and sing "Ding Dong the Witch Is Dead". I don't think either one of us gets much respect from our children, maybe it's because they know us too well. I know this really is a morbid thing to think about but for some reason death has been with me for quite a while, wonder why???

My Sweet sister Christine and Me
About Me
- Rae
- I find myself in that strange position of being single. Not only single but "Widowed", I hate those words. And I hate being alone. However I do love living in AZ and I love all our children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren and great-great grandchildren. How did I ever get sooo old? I also love my brother and sisters and their spouses, especially Christine, my best friend. I have been blessed beyond comprehension and I know that I have been watched over. I feel such love and peace especially on the days I wake up scared and lonely. I'm so grateful for the gospel and my faith in God and Jesus Christ. There would be no sense to life without this.

Kimber thinks you are pretty crazy, but she loves you beyond words!
I wish I had an email for you, I would just do that...I hate to put this here (but you can delete it after you read it). I am trying to find out a way to buy some electric for Kimber over the phone... who do I call? Do you know? Email me at berleen@charter.net
Oh Mother, we have already talked at length about your "weird manerisms" (that would be mannerisms Mom, 2 n's. Hehehe I corrected my mom!). Why wait until you are "gone". Much more fun to talk about it now.
"I know this really is a morbid thing to think about". Then quit it!
Berleen, you goober! I just love you so!
And I love you Mom!
