My name is Julia, I live in Phoenix, AZ, I have been raising my two grandkids, Toree is almost 16 and Brandon is 18, I have had them for 16 years, they are a true joy. I lost both of my parents when I was 16 years old. Mom (Hazel Misner)died in a car accident, their car was hit from behind by a drunk driver. The car burst into flames, my dad got out and got my seven year old little brother out. But he could not get to my mom, she burned in the car, that was June 19, 1970. Two weeks later my dad (Carroll Misner)had a stroke and was hospitalized, three days later he died of a heart attack, July 6, 1970. That period in my life is kind of a blur. My brother, Jerry "Sarge" died of a heart attack at the age of 49, July 7, 1987. My sister, Carol Sue Davis died 04/04/87 from kidney & liver failure. The official cause of death was "prolong Tylenol poisoning, Sue often took Tylenol for sleep. My best friend of 18 years, Julie McBride died from a brain tumor, at the age of 45. After losing so many loved ones, I went on a mission to try and figure out "life, death, after life". Which actually took me on a spiritual path and has made me into a very loving, caring and spiritual being. It's been years since I lost my loved ones but the pain never goes away, it does get easier with time.
