It has been almost 10 years, but I still miss her…She was a good Mother and she worked hard to provide for me during my school years and I really never understood how little money we had as a family since she made sure I did not lack for anything. I feel sure she sometimes shorted herself in providing for her family…..Mothers all over the world do that and seldom do they ever receive any thanks for it….I loved my Mom so deeply, still do and miss her. Our reunion draws nearer with each passing year…To all of you that have your Mother still with you, shower her with love and hugs and kisses and be thankful she is still with you…..Mothers of the world, God Bless you and thank you for being there for those who call you MOM……Pete Hester



I miss her too. She was by far my favorite Aunt. I remember most during those early years of spending the night in her house and playing with my big cousin Pete. And Oh, the food! It was always delicious. I suppose that a young kid’s determination of favorite always depends on the attention that the kid receives. I always received a tremendous amount of attention from Aunt Tewo when I stayed at her house. It is this attention and the good food that I remember the most.
Thanks, Errol….I appreciate that…
I really loved that lady too. She was a wonderful grandmother. She made me so many pretty clothes that looked up to date and store purchased, but back then you couldn’t buy clothes for overweight little girls around here. She taught me how to cook so many things. I probably have one character trait that I own to her – she told me to stand up for what I knew was right – legally/morally! I Pauline Wattssuppose it as caused me some problems with a couple of principals over the years; but it has been worth it. I miss her too!
Thanks for the comments on Mom…One really knew where she stood, huh?…I don’t mind taking a stand either..Thanks again, Elisa
