Mom was one of the hardest workers there ever was. She loved her family more than life itself. She and daddy together was a very good match.
Note
In the 1930 Census Christine (Mom) was living on 4th Street in Hayti, Missouri. In the household at the time was the following people: John Sr., Mamie, Christine, Lily May, John Jr., Thomas Rufus and Mamie Alice Baynes.
Note
Christine was only 14 years old when she married Bill. She had 8 children and 7 of us grew to be an adult. Mom also raised 2 of her grandchildren as her own. We still think of Larry and Glenn to be our brothers.
Note
Christine was a petite woman about 5 foot 2 and she had jet black hair and a temper that could really make you set up and take notice. She was a very pretty woman and later in life she really liked shoes. Mom was a very smart woman and she and my father together thought education was so important in raising their children. We all graduated from high school and some went on to college. Christine has and had one of the nicest laughs that a person can have.
Note
Mom is a cancer survivor. She had colon cancer when she was about 60 years old. She also has Parkinsons, high blood pressure and she also has the beginnings of alzheimers disease. She has a lot of trouble with her stomach but I think most of it is related to the surgeries that she has had in the past.
Note
Mom passed away on 3/5/09 and 2 months before she died we found out she did not have alzheimers disease. She was alert to the end of her life. Something to laugh at the last week she was alive she ask me did I have her blouse on and I did.
