May 23 - 25, 1971 Zak is Sick

Sunday, May 23, 1971

Mowed lawns. Windy and very cold. I done regular work. Washed, picked over greens I picked. Dorothea and family called. Lloyd called. He said Fern had a bad spell last night. Dorothea and Dave got the refrigerator. Bill and Billie mowed lawns. Betty and kids called. In evening I went down to funeral parlor with Betty to see Joanne. Billie got some chicken breasts.

Monday, May 24, 1971 JoAnne’s funeral

A nice day, sunny. I done a little more wash. Down to Betty’s while she took Kim to school. Her Humpty Dumpty school went by bus to the elementary school today. Betty took Zak to doctors, he has asthmatic bronchitis. He is very bad. Dorothea came up to go to the funeral. I got my hair set today. All went to JoAnne’s funeral in PM. A very big funeral and a lot of flowers. She looked very nice. It is better she has gone after many years of suffering.

Tuesday, May 25, 1971 Zak to the hospital in the night

Another miserable day. I done up regular work. Down to Betty’s to see the kids. Zak sick with asthmatic bronchitis. Kim has a cold. Bill down to Gordon’s and worked all day and part of the night. Cement work. Betty made root beer. In p.m. I got ready to go down to Westbrook to the Westbrook Elementary Spring Concert with Betty. Jeff played in the band. He did very well. It was a very good concert. Came home, Zak’s condition was much worse. They took him to the hospital to be put into a croup tent. Dorothea was so glad we came down. Their house looks so nice.
