January 14, 1965 Aunt Estelle wrote

Thurs.  Fair & cold.

I went to Bristol and spent the day with Pearl & Aunt Becky at the hospital.  She is real sick. 


Footnote:  Bristol is a nice size town about an hour's drive from her home.  It is on the border of Tennessee and Virginia and the main street divides the town.   Pearl Reasor Barkley is her cousin and the daughter of Becky P. Reasor, her aunt.   I think Aunt Becky is the one that is real sick.  I wish I had Becky's birthdate so we could know how old she was.    Stephen would have that information. 


My note:  Leah's father-in-law, Joe Kordenbrock died Saturday afternoon.  He had been sick for over a month.  He was in the hospital for a long time and then moved to a nursing home and back to the hospital.  He ended up with pneumonia in both lungs and just couldn't recover from that.  He was only 81.  Married to Maxine for 61 years and had 5 children and a bunch of grandchildren  and great-grandchildren.  Max is the youngest grandchild and he is now 17 and will graduate in June.  Tonight we all went to the visitation and there was a large crowd.  The funeral is tomorrow but I will not go.  It is very cold here and I just can't stand it.     Supposed to get up to 45 on Saturday - maybe I will go out to the grocery then.
