December 13th -- Our family's day of Infamny

The day my Mother, Sue Pettit was killed.   By a lady who had an argument with her husband, she ran two red lights and hit my Mother's car.  She was killed on impact.  






Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on
'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven
Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven?
I'll find my way through night and day
'Cause I know I just can't stay here in heaven
Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees
Time can break your heart, have you begging please, begging please
Beyond the door there's peace I'm sure
And I know there'll be no more tears in heaven
Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on
'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven

Cemetary where some of my ancestors are buried




http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~gafloyd2/cem/MidwayCem.html

Link to Midway Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery web site---where some of my Redmond and Floyd relatives are buried. It has a listing of the graves there. 

My Dad has a brother and a sister that died as children buried there.   One died from food poisoning after eating ice cream at a birthday party.  One died after drinking kerosene that was in a coke bottle that was left sitting around.  The little girl was 5 and the little boy was one.   Both could have probably survived with today's medical advances.
Have a goal to take my Dad there one day to find the graves.
