Bio

Hello, I enjoy working on my family genealogy, it is a very challenging task. I have managed to do research in England and Ireland and traced our Ancestry line back as far as 1400. I visited the country of Ireland in July of 2015 and was able to find the tomb of our ancestors located in Limerich. I wish my husband was still living so I could share all this with him.
We had 4 sons, Ricky Lee Sexton, Randall Wayne Sexton, Ronald Lee Sexton and Rex Allen Sexton.
Our son, Ricky Lee Sexton went to Heaven August 8, 1966 and is buried in the family plot with his Daddy, Wiley along with my father and mother and my only brother and in November of 2015 we buried our precious granddaughter, Chrissy sexton age 30 beside Wiley, my husband and her granddaddy, whom she adored. My precious sister, Betty Winfrey Whisenant went to Heaven October 10, 2017 and is buried beside Chrissy and someday I will be buried on the other side of Wiley. Our family plots are in Springhill Cemetery in Nashville, Tennessee. I also like to make floral arrangements and especially for my beloved husband's gravesite since he went to Heaven April 18, 2010. He use to send me roses all the time and finally said it would be cheaper to buy me a florist, so he built me one and I never dreamed that one day I would be making flowers for his grave. We are Christians and Wiley was a Deacon at Mastin Lake Road Church of Christ in Huntsville, Alabama. We believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God. My Husband and I were both baptized in 1957 and have remained Christians ever since. God lived with my husband here on earth and now he has gone to live with God in Heaven.. I Love and miss my husband with every ounce of my being and one day I will join you.
Sending my Love and God bless you...

A Note to all my Ancestors

Dear Ancestor, the place you filled
One hundred years ago
Spreads out among the ones you left
Who would have loved you so.

Your tombstone stands among the rest;
Neglected and alone.
The name and date are chiseled out
On polished, marbled stone.

It reaches out to all who care
It is too late to mourn.
You did not know that I exist
You died and I was born.

Yet each of us are cells of you
In flesh, in blood, in bone.
Our blood contracts and beats a pulse
Entirely not our own.

I wonder if you lived and loved,
I wonder if you knew
That someday I would find this spot,
And come to visit you.
