Sometimes we don't always recognize the value of the loved ones in our
lives until they are gone. That is why I appreciate the opportunity to
honor my grandmother here. She raised me and taught me about Jesus. In
turn, I taught my children; and they've taught their children. Her
mother, Idella (Ida) Josephine Jewell Harris, wrote in her Bible ...
"Will the circle be unbroken?" Hopefully, not.

CitizenE's life and
accomplishments : |
Myrtle got scarlet fever when
she was 9 years old that left her deaf. Denied access to public
school, she became self-educated.
Raised in the hills of Missouri, she brought her love of animals to
the city. She was always the local drop-off for unwanted animals. She
would do her best to find homes for each of them. The others, she
would take to the SPCA. When she died, I took her dogs to the SPCA in
Tulsa. They said that in her honor her dogs would never be adopted
out. Instead, they would be allowed the run of their office until the
day they died. I thought that was a wonderful tribute to my
grandmother, and I know she looked down from Heaven with pleasure. |

Book : |
| The picture is of my
grandmother and her husband, Ernest Scott. He was a French Canadian
who served in the US Army. They met at Sand Springs Park near Tulsa,
Oklahoma, sometime during WW I. He later died from complications from
having breathed mustard gas during the war. He also was a participant
in the Tulsa Race Riots, something I thought my grandmother made up
until I read about it on the Internet. I hope he repented of that
before he died. Regards,
Judy |
