IT was usually in the wee still , silent hours of the night that my phone would ring frantically and I instinctively knew exactly who it was on the other end. Wheatie would usually start by saying something like , Girl, I know Bell Telephone loves you and they should give you FREE phone service cuz you always pay your bill. Then she would let out a loud belly laugh that woke me the rest of the way from lala land and I’d join in the laughter.. I am glad that I always told Wheatie that I loved her EVERY time we talked even if her sometimes colorful language threatened to burn up the telephone wires. Funny thing is when I told her she was about to burn up the phone wires with her cussing, she would tell me that maybe I should get with the times and go wireless like the rest of the world ! Then we would laugh some more. I will miss those late late night phone calls and I will miss my Wheatie sooooo much. I love you Pierre Mailloux, Whisper and Dustin and Baby Boy , Lenard, Anthony, Jeff, Carol, Franny, Debbie, Krista and all the rest of the family. It is my sincere prayer that God will strengthen and encourage you during this journey through grief, just remember that grief is not a destination but a passageway to greater and deeper understanding. God bless and keep you all. Love Cuzin Carmen
