Dear Janice ,

Our relationship was at times strained. But l will not forget you. Your always be my big sister.

Since you have been gone, a lot has happened.

Your a grandmother once again. Misty gave birth to the most beautiful little boy you can image. All of this happening during the heights of the Covid 19 pandemic which has swept across our country, claiming many lives. I found out about it only after the fact.

Why am l always the last to know? She has a gentleman in her life named Bailey - and l believe he loves her very much.

I wish the two would get get married already…

You would be so proud . The baby is growing up healthy and seems to have been just what Misty needed in her life.

I see pictures of her now doting on the baby., where in which she is always smiling . She is an excellent mom!

The child reminds me a little bit of your father Bill Shropshire. Unmistakable resemblance.

Amanda as far as l know is doing well, with all her children who vary in ages. It be quite a handful for her and her husband l can imagine.

It hard to tell because l think l was blocked on Facebook by her …a while ago. Not sure why? But it’s probably for the best.

A lot of pain here because of tragic events of the past. And I’m a reminder l think , of some of these events which cannot be forgotten, except maybe with the passage of time.

Saw a picture recently of Buddy Holly on Facebook, which brought back a lot of memories. He was always a stand up guy, who tried really hard to provide for his family under very difficult circumstances.

It was about that same time l began to realize the Tilford Trust was beginning to have money problems.

I felt that had we provided some financial help in that situation you guys could have made it.

After you guys left abruptly to live in a motel room it seemed everything degenerated rather quickly.

Soon afterwards you disappeared and l will never forget the look on Buddy’s face when he came to the house with the babies to report you missing at the time.

God these were troubling times.

It wasn’t until years later l figured it out.

I can’t understand why things happen the way they do?

When we finally reestablished contact after many years, it all began to make sense.

Addiction, depression is a horrible thing to deal with.

I had plenty of experience with that dealing with mom and her 30 year drinking problem which at times was unbearable to have to deal with.

With all that said…I sincerely hope that you finally found “the peace” you search for almost your entire life and didn’t find here in the first life, you will in the next.

God bless and keep you!

Luv ya

Bobby

Dear sister, I think l miss most our long conversations on the porch at the trailer in Las Vegas, talking about our lives growing up together in Phoenix, Arizona as kids back in the 1960s 1970s. About mom and dad, our brother Jay and what happened long ago... I am so glad l took the opportunity to live with you and Jon in 2012... I miss our phone calls and text messages. It's hard to believe two years have passed already. I was thinking about mom passing on in 2010, some 9 years ago already. My how time flies by when you sail pass the age of 50...missing you, thinking about you, and some of the odd incidents and occurrences in our lives. Like the time you dressed up as the jolly green giant, for Halloween one year -; how amazing you looked at the time... With people setting decorations up for Halloween 2019 l am reminded of that incident...Luv ya always, miss you dearly - my dear sister if mine. Rest in peace... Signed Bobby

You'll be missed

Janice,

I remember our fun days at Opryland Hotel, you were a great supervisor. You made others feel so very comfortable around you. We had some good times after that as well. So many years went by, I wished we had kept in touch better.

Take care my friend, may you rest in peace 

Darlene
