What a
treat!! We were so excited to meet her.
She came to visit with her daughter Melissa, and
son Mark, as well as her niece Amy from New
York. I received this letter from Melissa
after their visit.
Without
a doubt, our trip to Aledo was the highlight of
my cousin Amy’s visit to Texas. She used
to live in Dallas so she didn’t come here to do
tourist things ~~ she wanted to spend time with
my mom and go to ALEDO. She went back to
New York city on Monday. Now her sister
(my cousin) Kathryn is wanting to get back to
Texas to visit Aledo ~~ she also lives in New
York city. My mom (Peggy) and our side of
the family have always lived in the Dallas-FW
area. My mom and I live in Arlington, and
my brother Mark that was with us Saturday lives
in Addison. My mom has had Parkinson’s
disease for 17 years, She was excited to
meet you! After we returned home last
Saturday, we were inspired to go through old
photo albums and found pictures of the home and
the barber shop (now the framing shop), many
with Amy and I playing in the yard, We
just wanted to share with you our memories of
our grandparents and the home. They passed
away when I was 10, in mid-August 1965. My
grandma passed away, and then the day after her
funeral, my granddaddy died. So I remember
that being a very hard time. He had a weak
heart all his life from having rheumatic fever
as a child and I know her death was very hard on
him, so my mom always said granddaddy died of a
broken heart. And I do remember that our
grandparents were well thought of, so anyone in
town who remembers the Coder family would also
be very happy with what you did with their home.
Kimberly, we feel so blessed to finally meet you
and to know that the home is in good hands
again. My very best wishes for success in
your yoga business. Feel free to contact
me anytime.
Melissa
