Spiers Lucy Crump [Female] b. 11 OCT 1928 Richmond, Virginia, USA - d. 19 DEC 2012 Richmond, Virginia, USA

My sister Lucy had romotarior arthritis when was born so there fore she was sickly all of her life. My mother used to say you'll can't to so and so because LucY can't. That is not the way to do children, make them stand on their own two feet not in a bunch. Anyway we looked after her all our Life. She will be 82 and in a nursing home. They said she has partial dementia, and she is just as happy as if she had good sense.
My other sister Helen is in a retirement home in Penn, and so happy, She has three children and umteen great grandchildren. She lives on a good pension that Morris fought WWII for her and Kathy is up there and looks out for her.
She could, like Mother, sew. She did not read, but she could sew. One time Aunt Roberta needed a DAR dress for the DAR party, so she asked Helen would she sew her one. Helen got the pattern and made it, and it got a lot of compliments on it. It was so up to that date, it is in the DAR museum in Atlanta Georgia.
When Grandma died they were wondering what to do with some of the stuff. Well I spotted a bag of old material, lace and things. I asked for them and took them down to the Civil War museum and they were so grateful. They said they could use the material to patch with and the lace to fix up things, anyway they liked it all and it was aged just like the things they had to repair.
Grandma had a croquette bed spread she had made in 1918 and she had finished all but three squares. They were going to throw it away and NO I would like to have it. She had the pattern, the squares and the material still there. So I finished the bed spread and then I washed it and it came out like new. My daughter has it now, and she uses it on her single bed and I still have the pattern. Material lasted in those days.
I write something then think of something else. As they did not have TV or radio or electricity they had one baby every at least two years. The list prove it. Any way now days they talk about everything, nothing is sacred to the younger set. So hear goes. My mother talked one time about a King that used a sponge and it was successful, then her husband found out about it and she continued having a baby ever couple of years. These children these days have children when they want them. I don't blame them, then they can do more for them. I often wonder that there are four years between my brother and me, often wonder.
