I found the post to be one of the most difficult ones to write so far in my short blogging "career." She certainly had to live with a lot of tragedy -- more than I think I could have done.Schalene Dagutishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10155315167291741937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6562639907997889606.post-70693244634634385882014-03-30T20:00:51.137-04:002014-03-30T20:00:51.137-04:00Bernita, thank you.

I remember when I first found out her son, killed his three young children and attempted to kill his ex-wife, I realized I might have finally found a black sheep I didn't relish (usually they are my favorite ancestors). Then I was fortunate to purchase a book he wrote after he was released from prison. I felt he laid the reason for committing the crime at his mother's feet and she became one of my favorite ancestors as a result. He was her favorite child and he used the way she raised him as his excuse for the inexcusable.
