“Eve Karen McClarren Scott is 71 – TODAY”

This is the day that  “EVE KAREN” was born – – and her identical twin sister, “Kathleen” only survived a week – – after birth… due to a crushed lung. Each “baby” weighed eight and a half pounds.  That is just too much “baby” to be carrying for  a small frame woman … only five foot tall.

This is “EVE KAREN” age seven (7) and with big bother,  “DENNY, Jr.”  on his GRADUATION  DAY – – celebrating with the all day PICNIC at the German St. Vincent’s Home.

“Here we all are on a “Visiting Sunday Afternoon” – – that is DADDY holding baby “EVE KAREN” – and then … TOMMY, and DENNY, Jr., in the center and MARY ELLEN – – and we are standing in the “Apple Orchard” some of the best green apples…for making “APPLE BUTTER” which we had on the  “HOME” made bread – – everyday.

“Do we look HAPPY – – to be all together – – or what?”

And this last PHOTO is of “EVE KAREN” and her husband “JIM SCOTT” on vacation in “Hawaii”  – – and they are in a Jewelry Shop  – – and with the wonderful smile on her face – – “KAREN” just received some very nice  jewelry  – – and when you receive diamonds  – – –  you really do smile “BIG” for the camera. 

Just could not believe it – – when JIM called me – – to tell me KAREN died just two weeks before her “Fiftieth BIRTHDAY” – – today she would have been “71” – – 

So… here is  to seeing you – – again someday – – DENNY JR., is up there with you, KAREN  – – and…  save a spot for all of  us to be together – – on “CLOUD NINE” – – as I have posted  “PHOTOS”   of DENNY… on his very  ‘own’  “CLOUD NINE” – –  that is a very  “HIGHLY RATED” CLOUD  – – to be on … when you like to float on by – –  – and watch over all the rest of the FAMILY.

“Will always remember “KAREN” – my sister”

 

https://fourgrandmas.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Karen-Jim-Scott-001.jpgTomorrow  – the 29th – makes  “21” years since my sister, Karen died.  This was just two weeks before her  50th Birthday and almost  35 years married to her husband, Jim Scott. When one says that LIFE is too short – – must have also experienced  this same thing… as someone in the family having everything going for them  –  – – wonderful family  and home and taking vacations to Hawaii – – – no fear of very long distance flying – and health that was very good. One wonders what really happened?

Is it true that you could be a carrier of cancer and never know it? It would seem to me that there is something – – –  that would call for further attention    – –  – in the yearly medical exams that one has  – that would surely show up with  some kind of tell-tale-sign  – –  – at least giving someone a small clue that something is brewing inside the body – so that  – we could  start getting better medical exams and  the best of advice – – for the situation??  What can be done when you and…  or a member of the family  – is told that –  they have  “pancreatic”  cancer?  The only thing “my sister”  was told   is that  – – –  “there is nothing that can done – – –  once it is detected?” “In… just “Eight to Ten” weeks and you are gone.”

As you can see in the above  “PHOTO”  of Karen and her husband, Jim  – they are very “HAPPY” and they are  having a very good time in “Hawaii!” –   on  VACATION – – not knowing “the TIME CLOCK” for her LIFE … is  running  out of TIME – – – – I only wish…  that my sister,   Karen   could have lived  just a little longer?”

A Day of Remembering!

Eve Karen 001

Some days’ of the year – sure get one to remembering – people – events –  and the things that happened  – all –  so long ago – that one would think – everything was  long forgotten?? The above picture of my sister KAREN – brings back memories of the situation – and the events – that were taking place – and  when I stop to think of the things that were done to make this picture a reality – I could have enough material  with  the facts  – that would make a –  MOVIE  – AT LEAST  – A TOP SELLING BOOK! 

I am born under the sign – and I would guess that –   whatever this  “SIGN” would be  – there may be  many others – and only if you experience what I am talking about  – would understand?? When I want something  – really want  and ask for that  something  – there is the possibility of my getting  “my want” – but not for long . If I do receive the “want” – some how or the other – it is taken away and so is this  the case  –  concerning  –  KAREN – and me –  and has always  been. In additions to “want’ –  I have to sit on the fence – when it comes to my saying anything  in a positive  and or negative way.  If  I really want something – I have to say that  –  I do not want  – what ever is the option . And that goes for my opinion on what will or will not take place and  or happen – always works that way  – so I prefer to sit on the fence – and just wait and see – in  that way I just might be happy – about the decision .

Today, was a cold and windy  – very strong winds –  so strong were  the winds  – they could blow you down – if you were not holding on ?? No Sunshine – just a gloomy day to remember  – my sister KAREN  – and think about the letters  that she wrote to me when I lived in Florida – and if I had been in Missouri – could I have been able to help her. When – you start to think about what you may have been able to do for someone – how would that change  – make a difference in the scheme of events  – and or the changes that could take place in the lives – in lots of people. Would the LIFE  – of others change or not?  And would there be any good results and changes in our own LIVES?? Too many questions – seem to be coming to me that need some serious thought  – and should I want to write  a book  – just to see if  our story  – and with  all the facts –  and there could be some people  – who  need to hear what really happened  –  would  I  be able help some one??

“Remembering my sister, Karen”

 

Karen & Jim Scott 001Tomorrow  – the 29th – makes nineteen years since my sister, Karen died.  This was just two weeks before her  50th Birthday and almost  35 years married to her husband, Jim Scott. When one says that LIFE is too short – – must have also experienced  this same thing as someone in the family having everything going for them  – wonderful family  and home and taking vacations to Hawaii – no fear of very long distance flying – and health that was very good. One wonders what really happened?

Is it true that you could be a carrier of cancer and never know it? It would seem to me that there is something – that would call for further attention    – – in the yearly medical exams that one has  – that would surely show up some kind of tell-tale-sign  – -at least giving someone a small clue that something is brewing inside the body – so that  – we could  start getting better medical exams and  the best of advice. What can be done when you and or a member of the family  – is told that –  they have pancreatic cancer?  The only thing my sister was told  -that  – “there is nothing that can done – once it is detected?” “Eight to ten weeks and you are gone.”

As you can see in the above picture of Karen and her husband, Jim  – they are very “HAPPY” and having a very good time in “Hawaii!” –  ” I only wish that my sister,   Karen   could have lived  just a little longer?”
