hey,
I know this in an old post. Carolyn was my aunt. Her oldest child is my cousin Patsy, who was raised mainly by my grandmother. I thought she was my aunt when I was little.
My cousin Betty Joe was a beautiful girl and died way too young, but she suffered for a long time.

I have a picture that says Shirley. Shirley is holding Kelly.. Is that perhaps the "K" in your Kwhite

If so maybe this link would be of interest to you.

YES!!!! That is me and my mother. Who are you and how did you get these pictures? Can you tell what year it was? My mother was Shirley Jean Davis Hartman. My mom passed away in 2003. Miss her terribly.

You won't believe this, but I spoke with your aunt Dot [Dorothy] this week. She is still alive and well, still quite a character; one of my favorite people in the whole world. I think she's 80+ yrs old now.
Your cousin Ron is my neighbor [btw - he just got married]and BJ was also my neighbor until her untimely death. She was also good friends with one of my cousins.
Call your Aunt Dot. I know that she would love to reminisce with you and probably has many old photos, too. If you need a phone #, email me privately, or just look her up in East Palatka or San Mateo white pages. Ron's phone number should also be listed.
Dot LOVES Valentine's Day! A call from you might be the most perfect Valentine ever. She's not hard of hearing and is still sharp as a tack, so do give her a call.

hi LisaKay...

Thank you so much for replying. I do still try to keep up with what's going on with most of the remaining family members down there. Mainly though not through direct contact. I had recently heard that Ronnie got remarried. I don't have much direct contact with Dot, only sometimes a card. I did send her a card and some pics for Christmas. She really hurt us all by not coming to my dads (2001)funeral or her own sister, my mom Shirley's funeral in 2003. I have many fond memories of my aunt Dot's place and Springside. I loved going there as a kid.
Do you happen to know what has become of Terry? Last I always hear is that he is in jail?
Again....thanks so much for replying.

I'm sorry, but I don't know Terry. Was he friends with Jerry Douglas [or some similar name]? Jerry's sister Gail is married into my family.

Please know that your aunt's absence from the funerals was never intended to be hurtful to the family. She is one of the most sentimental persons I have ever met, especially re: her family. She is, however, also stubborn and afraid of her own emotions.

I have a copy of Brian Michaels' book, The River Flows North, a history of Putnam County. I will try to get some of the info copied and sent to you this weekend.
