Heather: Mother, you asked me to keep all the family in line? How can I help the family members? Let’s start with Vaughn. How can I help Vaughn?

“Vaughn, he’s the baby of the family.  I want to make sure he gets his place.  Don’t pamper. Keep him on a level ground.  He is very emotional.  More than the rest of the family.  Make sure he doesn’t get out of bounds with emotion.”

28 July 2005

Heather: I agree with you, Mother. Vaughn is the one family member who does not mince words. He tells it like he sees it. There is no phoniness about Vaughn!

Heather: How could I help Deardra?

“Well, try to keep Deardra’s feet on ground.  She likes to shoot up.  She needs to keep her feet on the ground.”

Heather: How could I help Crystal?

“Ernie is very level headed.  He is a good husband for Crystal.  He keeps her where she belongs.  You can go along with that to make sure that is how she wants it.”

Heather: How could I help Dawn?

“Praise George as much as you can because he is very good to Dawn.”

Heather: How could I help Spencer?

“Be very good to his wife.  She is a very nice woman and Spencer deserves her.”

28 July 2005

Heather: How about Doug?

“Doug is pretty steady himself.  I don’t worry too much about him.”

28 July 2005

Heather: How can I help myself? (Laughter)

“I think you have your own little God.  You whistle, hum.  I bet every once in a while, you find yourself whistling, humming. (It) calms you down.”

28 July 2005

Heather: Lisa?

“Lisa?  I don’t think you have to do much with Lisa.  Lisa is strong and she helps her husband.  Both Brian and Lisa are strong.  Lisa keeps right up with him.”

28 July 2005

Heather: Michelle?

“I think Michelle is very level headed.  She can be flightly and jumping around but way down, she is very deep.  She is doing very good with her little girl.  She seems to be bringing her up right.”
