My dear sweet sister Lydia. I miss you so much... Lydia was the daughter of Lloyd Vernon and Olive Ilene Taylor-Atterson. Yes dear sister:
"I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength, and I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come down to meet each other. Then, suddenly, someone at my side says, "There…she is gone." But I asked, "Gone where?" Gone from my sight, that is all. For she is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side, and just as able to bear her load of living weights to it's place of destination. Her diminished size is only in me…not in her; and just at the moment when someone at my side says, "There…she is gone," on that distant shore there are other eyes watching out for her coming and other voices ready to take up the glad shout, "Here she comes'… and such is the Christian death." Unknown Author.
Lydia's children are Brenda Lee, Edgar "Bubby" Louis, Kenneth Lee, and David Lee Cole.
