| Memories from a son: My father tells me Elizabeth was an acceptional mother and often found herself being exasperated by his antics. She always dressed in stylish clothing and wore big bonnets. Raising the boys also tested her elegant style. He was always getting into mischief and would often find himself caught! In one incident, their driveway was being asphalted and he went out in his bare feet and let the asphault squish between his toes. His mother picked him up and carried him into the house and into the tub, clothes and all as she was saying "David, it will be a cold day in H*** when you play outside again!" He was 13 when she passed away from cancer, on a cold and rainy day. |
