Dear Myrtle's Finally Get Organized To do list for the week is to share 1 family History Story per day. Visit  http://blog.dearmyrtle.com/2011/03/organization-checklist-tab.html  to join in the fun! I have shared on Facebook the fact that two of my Great Grandmother's Johanna Schuck Miottel  and Stella Adams Poundstone both passed in the 1918 Flu epidemic. Today I wanted to share something my daughter Jessica Lynne Fay (1983-2015) did when she was little.  One day when we were living with Grandma and Grandpa Clark - Grandpa told her to pick up toys and she said no.  Grandpa said "You will pick up your toys!"  again she said no!  My dad said that she will not tell him no and she put her fists at her side and said "You, you bok wok! I'm mad".  Now we joke around when someone makes us mad we call them a bok wok! Jessica - Bok Wok age four

Jessica 2009 Jessica and I 1984 My heart is still heavy with the loss of my eldest daughter Jessica.  There are no words of comfort for me - I am getting by with the love and care of my family and friends.  I am angry, sad, confused and hurt while I am happy, comforted, loved and holding on.  One day I hope to be able to understand, meanwhile we wait for the coroner's report.  I always called Jessica my "life sucker"  she was the one child that could take my soul and twist it around.  She knew my hot buttons.  She also knew that I loved her.  She always made of point of telling me every time she saw or talked to me. Jessica was a fixer.  She brought both people and animals home that she felt needed care.  She and her dog Bear Bear were inseparable.  He faithfully stayed by her side after she passed away.  We have added her dog to our menagerie at home, he does give me comfort.  My husband has been a bless...
