I remember being particularly impressed as a teenager by some Wycliffe women, single, highly educated, sturdy, living out in the "back country" among the Chichimeca, if I remember correctly.<BR/><BR/>Later, when I was old enough to appreciate her, I realized my mother's strength, too.<BR/><BR/>I'd like to hear more about your mother's story.Susannah Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11923063322849781223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-11722810670342081232007-02-20T21:37:00.000-05:002007-02-20T21:37:00.000-05:00Donna,Thanks for sharing your life.

You must be very well-rounded and easy to get along with! Losing a little sister at age 7 must have been very traumatic. My Mom, Dad, and my husband have all lost a sibling around the same age. I'm lucky that I didn't. <BR/><BR/>I'm sure you are close with your brother and I'll bet he has the same fine memories as you do.<BR/><BR/>I still want to hear about your courageous mother.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040099513110890878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-29680082516529917782007-02-20T12:29:00.000-05:002007-02-20T12:29:00.000-05:00Mary--try the link now.Mary--try the link now.KGMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165941950953938943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-59117585699133141742007-02-20T10:57:00.000-05:002007-02-20T10:57:00.000-05:00You may (or may not) know that Rhoda is Lois' Grea...You may (or may not) know that Rhoda is Lois' Great-Aunt. Of course you knew her sister, Martha (they looked so alike); another sister married Edgar Heise, whose son married Maxine Engle, whose daughter married me.<BR/><BR/>I remember her best as the one who helped line Dorothy's body in the casket, to which you referred. I remember also that two of the women you refer to (we always called them the single ladies) had the same birthday as I: Dorothy Martin was one; was Rhoda the other? I'm not sure.Climenheisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01989459133238230712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-6986053831300602232007-02-20T09:21:00.000-05:002007-02-20T09:21:00.000-05:00Donna, first, I would love to read about your sist...Donna, first, I would love to read about your sister but the link didn't work.<BR/><BR/>You are so fortunate to share the genes of such powerful and independent women. It's not all about the genes, though - learned behavior shapes us. I don't doubt that you inspired many women during your life. <BR/><BR/>Please write about your Mother soon. I find your stories to be fascinating.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040099513110890878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-24899976054842586492007-02-20T07:26:00.000-05:002007-02-20T07:26:00.000-05:00What a wonderful tribute to Rhoda and strong women...What a wonderful tribute to Rhoda and strong women everywhere. I will have to find some more of your Africa stories in your archives.
