Friday May 12,1995/Last Phone Call  

I arrived home from work about 5:30pm and was rushing around trying to get ready to go to dinner with some friends...they were to pick me up about 6pm. 
Shortly after I arrived home, the phone rang and I heard, "Hi Mom, this is Julie, just wanted to call and wish you a Happy Mother's Day.." As always, I was very happy to hear from her....she would be the first one to tell you, I would complain because she didn't call often enough...
We talked for a few minutes, I said hello to "Miz Kayleigh" also, then Julie said she would let me go, so I could get ready to go to dinner....I said, "Please call me tomorrow or Sunday, I will be home all weekend."  She replied that she would try to call me, but couldn't promise, there was suppose to be bad weather all weekend with tornado watches (or as Kayleigh called them "naida watches") 
We wished each other a Happy Mother's Day and said I love you, then hung up....

That was the last time I ever talked to my Julie Ann...
 

                    


The Last Time I Saw My Daughter, Julie (May 8th 1994)  
On May 4th 1994, a dear friend of mine in Pilger, Ne. had passed away. 
On May 5th, I drove to Columbus and stayed with Julie,  so I could go to the funeral in Pilger on May 7th. 
I had to leave Columbus on Sunday the 8th, as I had to return to work on Monday and promised I would see her the following year,  when my vacation time was available.

I can still feel the hugs and  kisses I received from Julie that morning before I left...

Little did I know at the time,  that it would be the Last Time I saw her and that it would be her funeral. that would bring me back  to Columbus,  one year later..

It is eleven years since Julie has been gone and although  the days are easier now... during  the month of May,  almost every waking moment remains a  time of  Heartfelt Rememberance and Heartache. That just never goes away....


       
A card from Julie, to her Mom (1990)  

No matter how grown up I may be,
or how independent I feel...
No matter the distance between us,
or the time between visits...
No matter what happens today or tomorrow,
there is one thing you can always be sure of...
...how much I love you 



                                              


Welcome Kayleigh Ann, February 3rd, 1988!  
And then there is Miss Kayleigh Ann Hadcock
born ready to let everyone know she had
arrived. "Such a noise maker for just a
little bit of a girl"
I spent a lot of time with Julie after Kayleigh
was born. Just enjoying her and the kids...
"That is, when Kayleigh didn't have a tummy ache!"
"BOY, SHE DID KEEP US HOPPING!"
Julie loved  her family....
and I love them too.....

Welcome Curtis Lawrence, July 9th, 1986!  

Julie gave birth to her first child
on this date...20 years ago! 

Where has the time gone?

I had spend an entire week
over July 4th with her,
anticipating Curtis Lawrence's
arrival. Julie's father and I had
plane reservations on July 7th
to go visit Julie's sister Carol,
in Virginia.
Needless to say, Curtis decided
to arrive while Grandma was gone!

Julie for medical reasons, was not
even suppose to be able to have
any children. She was so happy
when she learned she was going
to have a baby! She was such a
good and caring Mom.
Anyway...
As soon as we returned home from
Virgina, I was in the car and
on my way to Columbus, to meet my
new grandson...
Now Curtis Lawrence has 2 babies of
his own.... 

Where does the time go?

- Grandma Jenkins - 

PS...When Curtis Lawrence was born,  Julie and Curtis had an apartment in Columbus. 
When Curtis Lawrence's daughter Shantel was born, the address on her birth certificate, was the Very Same As The Address on His Birth CertificateRight down to the Very Same Apartment Number
Curtis Lawrence was not aware of this until he compared his birth certificate, with his daughter's!  
Rather a strange coincedence, that both he and his wife, along with his Mom and Dad, both lived in the same apartment, as they were beginning their lives together. and almost 20 years difference in the two events!.
 

                                   


1st Day of school/September 1966  

Julie's first day of kindergarden was quite exciting for her...
When I met her at the bus, at the end of her school day...
I asked her how she liked her first day of school, she was very impressed...
She said, "Mom, my teacher calls me "huelie" and she is really nice."
"Huelie?" I asked, "And what is her name?"
"Mrs. Tortilla" she replied...
A few days later, I met her kidergarden teacher, a very nice lady...
Her name was Mrs Garcia...

                              


August 13, 1961/from Mom's perspective...  
This was a warm lazy Sunday afternoon... I spent the afternoon, playing shuffleboard, with Julie's paternal great-grandparents waiting for her Dad to get off of work, it was a day for overtime on a moving job...He finished up about 6pm and after we all visited for awhile. It was agreed that we would go out to eat, at one of the local mexican food resturants....well....we got as far as the resturant parking lot and Julie informed me, in the manner of a few pains, that it was Not Time to Eat! It was time to go to the hospital...so off we went.
This beautiful little girl was born at 11:47pm on this date and by 6am Monday morning...
Mom was not only Overjoyed, but Very Hungry...
