All Things Dianne...



These are some pictures of my mom. She was an amazing woman and we all miss her greatly. I want to tell her story thru my eyes. I know that my brother and sister have memories of her as well and I know from conversations that we all have different memories. I think that we all have different memories of her because the interaction we all had with her impacted each of us differently. Some memories that I retained of her, those that impacted me, may not have impacted my brother and sister the same way. Likewise, their memories of her are what impacted them the most.

These memories may not be in order of when they occurred but may come on a more random basis and may also depend on the length and how deep the story is. Some days I may have more time to write than other days so I may choose to write something short and sweet.

Thank you for your interest in this blog. Feel free to leave comments.

This is a tragic story. It has a mystery effect to it. You say your mom was murdered but you don't give the whole story. So I did some investigating and for that, they believe your mom was killed by Henry Lucas & Otis Toole. Same kinda gun and same kinda car that was used in another crime by the two. I was also wanting to know more about the kitchen behind the mirror, but the present owners didn't come to office door either time I went there. It is run down and frequented by the less the lower class of folk.

Hi, Brenda.

I'm writing a story about the case. I looked for a place to email you, but I don't see one. Please email me at tgilmore@fscj.edu. I'd love to speak with you. I'll be posting the story at jaxpsychogeo.com. I'm in touch with the retired police officer who was first on the scene. And, in response to another commenter, Toole and Lucas did not do this. They were just convenient patsies for police departments to increase their clearance rates. I'm so sorry for what your family endured. I hope to hear from you.
