She loved my mother like her own. She had a heart full of love for everybody. Mother's Daddy was Tuscko Thomas Stillwell. He and wife split when Mother was 3 yrs. old. Tuscko took Mother, wife took another girl, Doris. They were never heard from again. My sister found Doris in Ohio while doing a search of our maternal family in 2011.
