"Dear Vivian, We cannot change yesterday, that is clear, Or begin ontomorrow until it is here. So all that is left for you and me, is to maketoday as sweet as can Be! Love from your sister; Bernice Alwood. Edison'36, June 15, 1934" Dear Vivian, May all your troubles be little ones and lots of them. Yoursister. Nellie June 15. 1934" Dear Vivian, The lightning flashed, the thunder roared and all the worldwas shaken. A little pig curled up his tail and ran to save his bacon.Your loving cousin, Muriel. Port Alberni, BC August 1. 1934. My dear Vivian, true friends are like diamonds precious but rare, fakefriends are like autumn leaves, found every where. Your cousin, W. McCainAlwood, Port Alberni B.C., August 1, 1934. Dear Vivian, Of all the pests of pesky pests of them all you are thebest. Of the girls of a girly girl you dear Dear Vivian, even tho you are a 'skeeter' sometimes and a wigglewormsometimes. I hope you never lose your happy and jolly personality. If youwork hard you'll become a second Bernice at picking raspberries. Loveyour cousin, Vera Alwood. June 21. 1934 After the death of my mother, Vivian Alwood Klaus, in 1985, I felt Ishould write a few notes to friends of hers that possibly onlycorresponded at Christmas time. This is the response I received fromAlvena Johnson, and it gave some nice compliments to the Alwood family asshe knew and loved them herself. April 18. 1986 Dear Terry: I have wanted to sit down and write you and thank you for your kindnessin writing and letting me know your mom had passed away. I thought the world of her and I am sorry you will no longer be able toenjoy her company. She will always be with you and watching over you. Shewas a very special person to me. I lived with your grandparents (Harry and Hilda) for two years while Iwas going to high school. They were very special people to me too. I helped your mom when your brother, Michael, was born. It took care ofyou kids and helped your mom. She, of course, helped me far more than Iever helped her. For helping her when Michael was born, she paid for mygraduation pictures. which I couldn't afford. Your grandparents bought mysuit for graduation. You were a cute kid with blonde curly hair, do you still have the curlyhair? Larry was the first boy I had taken care of, I had sisters. Yourmom was potty training him when I first came into the picture. Yourgrandmother's bathroom was upstairs and I took Larry to the bathroom, Iwas thinking girl and sat him on the pot, he wet all over my face, beingboy. What a shock to a 15 year old. The first year I was away from home for Christmas I was at yourgrandparents. All of their kids came home and they all treated me likepart of the family. I was very thankful for that. Your Aunt Rena in Bow was another of my favorite people. Your cousin,Barbara and I were close friends. I got married at your grandparents home. We lived close to Sedro Woolleyfor a few years after we got married and I visited with them quitefrequently. In fact I did my laundry there for quite some time, until wemoved to Anacortes. Rena's daughter. Kay. took care of my oldest daughter while I was in thehospital having my second daughter. Rena delivered mail in the Bow areaat that time. She would take Peggy with her on the route. Peggy didn'twant to come home when we went to pick her up, she wanted to stay withMama. We were transferred to Boston and then to Hawaii in the Navy. Your momand I corresponded each year at Christmas keeping up on the family. Ienjoyed those letters and looked forward to receiving them. I was back in Sedro Woolley again when your grandfather got sick andended up in the hospital. He wouldn't eat for anyone but yourgrandmother. So, I would take her to the hospital most every day so shecould feed him. He told me one day when she was out of the room that hewas going to die and he wouldn't be going home. Your uncle was busyfixing over the laundry room so there would be a bathroom downstairs sohe could go home. I cried when I got home. I hadn't lost anyone close tome before, and this was the first person who I was really close to. Thiswas at the time they were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. Iam not sure you would remember this or not. Your mom called to let me know your grandmother had passed away. I wasplanning to attend the funeral. A storm hit and the pass was so bad theyweren't letting people travel over it. I didn't make it. I really feltbad about that. I want to thank you again for writing to me and letting me know aboutyour mom. I truly appreciate that, and I am ashamed that I haven'twritten to you sooner. I really loved your mom like a sister and I willalways hold her dear to me. If you ever feel like writing to me again, please feel free to do so, asI would love to hear from you. I would like to keep in touch. If you ever get up this way, please look me up. Thanks again Terry forthinking of me. -Alvena Johnson A poem that Vivian always liked was put in her funeral program. THE ROSE STILL GROWS BEYOND THE WALL Near a shady wall a rose once grew. As it grew and blossomed fair and tall, Onward it crept with added strength. The light, the dew, the broadening view Shall claim of death cause us to grieve, Scattering fragrance far and wide, A.L. FRINK |
