Dear AUNT MARTINE AND UNCLE CLAY, MY MOTHER--- JULIA ANN BERRY--- HAS BEEN KEEPING ME IN THE DARK ABOUT THE DEATHS OF YOUR PARENTS--- HAROLD AND FRANCES ROE--- AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY. ABOUT A WEEK AGO, I WENT TO MY MOTHER'S GRAVE AND THEN I DECIDED TO MAKE THE ROUNDS AT RESTLAND. WHEN I PUT A ROSE ON GRANDMOMMIE HORTON'S GRAVE, I TURNED TO GO BACK TO THE CAR AND THEN I SAW THE GRAVESTONE WITH THE NAME--- ROE. AND, SURE ENOUGH; IT WAS YOUR PARENTS GRAVE. SO I PUT A ROSE ON THEIR GRAVES. I HAVE OFTEN ASKED ABOUT YOU AND CLAY AND MY MOTHER JUST KEPT ON TELLING METO FORGET ABOUT EVERYTHING AND THAT WE HAVN'T SEEN OR TALKED TO CLAY AND MARTINE IN YEARS. MOM SAID THAT SHE DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO CONTACT YOU ALL. BUT THEN LAST YEAR, SHE LEFT HER PERSONAL PHONE BOOK OUT BY ACCIDENT AND SO--- THINKING ABOUT YOU ALL--- I DECIDED TO LOOK AND SEE IF YOU AND CLAY WERE IN IT AND THAT'S WHEN I FOUND YOUR ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER AND CALLED YOU AT CHRISTMAS ABOUT A YEAR AND HALF AGO. DO YOU ALL HAVE ANY IDEA WHY MOM WOULD WANT TO KEEP YOU AND I APART--- WHY WOULD SHE DO THIS? BEFORE I CALLED YOU AT CHRISTMAS A YEAR AND A HALF AGO, I STILL DIDN'T HAVE A CAR SO I TOOK THE DART BUT TO FIREWHEEL MALL AND WALKED FROM THERE ALL THE WAY INTO SACHSE TO ALMOST WYLIE. I STOPPED AT THE WALMART IN SACHSE AND I ALSO CHECKED OUT THE APARTMENTS RIGHT ACROSS FROM THERE. YOUR ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER IS UNLISTED SO I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE TO FIND YOU ALL. THE LAST TIME I WAS AT AUNT CATHERINE'S, I OVER HEARD YOUR MOTHER TALKING ABOUT WHEN PA PAW WAS REALLY YOUNG, THERE WAS A CONTROVERSY BETWEEN HIM AND HIS SIDE OF THE FAMILY BUT I COULD NEVER GET THE STORY. IS THAT ONE OF THE REASONS WHY MOM HAS KEPT US APART. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHATS GOING ON. I THINK ABOUT YOU ALL EVERYDAY AND WOMDER WHAT YOU ALL HAVE BEEN UP TO. I DIDN'T KNOW FOR SURE AT THE TIME BUT I FIGURED THAT YOUR MOTHER AND AUNT CATHRINE HAD PASSED ON BECAUSE IT'S BEEN SO LONG SINCE I'VE SEEN YOU ALL. SO, I WAS WONDERING IF YOU ALL WOULD LIKE TO GET TOGETHER SOMETIME AND CATCH UP? I STOPPED BY YOUR OLD HOUSE YESTERDAY AND HE TOLD ME THAT YOU ALL HAD MOVED TO THE AUNT CATHERINE'S AND UNCLE EDWINS FARM. I AM VERY SORRY THAT IT HAS TAKEN ME SO LONG TO FIND YOU ALL BUT MOM HAS BEEN HIDING YOU ALL FROM ME AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY. I LOVE YOU. YOUR NEPHEW, TODD PRESTON BERRY 11810 NEERING DR.

A memory that has stuck with me for the last 60 years: Sitting in the driver's seat of their hay truck letting me think I was steering it and laughing together about being in grandma gear. Kathryn was a special person who left me with wonderful childhood memories that will last a lifetime. My sincere condolences to the family.

Kathryn was a big part of my life as I was growing up. Jimmy and I were friends and his Mom always did something for us to keep us entertained. She was one special lady and I loved her very much. May she rest in peace. My condolences to Carla and family.
