• Notes

  CALLED LEO SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER 444-05-0809 LEO WAS MY FRIEND AND CONFIDENT ON THE FAMILY. MY MOTHER AND I WENT OVER TO SEE HIM AND HIS WIFE AFTER I MADE CONTACT WITH HIM ON THE TELEPHONE. WHEN HARDIN ANSWERED THE DOOR, MOM WHISPERED TO ME THAT HE LOOKED JUST LIKE GLEN, MY FATHER. AND HE DID. HE WAS BIGGER THAN DADDY BUT FAVORED HIM A GREAT DEAL. HE ALSO HAD A BOOMING VOICE LIKE MY DADDY. HE WAS BALD BUT DADDY HAD GRAY CURLY HAIR AT THE TIME. I LATER TOOK DAD OVER TO MEET HARDIN AND DAD LIKED HIM, TOO. THERE WAS NO DEVOUSNESS IN LEO. LIKE DADDY, HE WAS EXACTLY WHAT YOU SAW AND HEARD. AFTER MOM AND I ARRIVED, LEO'S WIFE, DESSIE, RECEIVED A TELEPHONE CALL ABOUT HER BROTHER BEING SHOT. HE OWNED SOME RENTAL PROPERTY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND GOT IN THE WAY OF A BULLET. MY WIFE AND I ATTENDED A CAUDLE REUNION IN ST. LOUIS, OKLAHOMA. IT WAS PRETTY QUIET UNTIL LEO SHOWED UP. WHEN HE WALKED IN, ONE COULD HEAR HIM ABOVE THE LOW HUM OF VOICES. LEO WAS LOUD AND ENJOYED HIMSELF. MY WIFE AND I LEFT FEELING THAT HE WAS JUST LIKE MY FAMILY. LEO DRAWED A PICTURE OF THE WHITE HOUSE CHURCH CEMETARY WHERE HARDIN CAUDLE WAS BURIED. I FOUND IT EXACTLY AS HE HAD DRAWED IT. MY WIFE AND I COULDN'T FIND HARDIN'S GRAVE AT FIRST SO I CALLED LEO. HE SAID "I'LL BET YOU ARE HAVING THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE." I WAS. HE DESCRIBED WHERE HARDIN WAS BURIED AGAIN OVER THE TELEPHONE AND MY WIFE AND I FOUND IT THE NEXT MORNING. IN THE DARK WE HAD JUST OVERLOOKED IT THE DAY BEFORE. ALSO, HARDIN'S AND MARY'S, HARDIN'S THIRD WIFE, NAMES AND DATES WAS ON THE SIDE AND NOT THE FRONT OF THE TOMBSTONE. I STILL HAVE THE MAP LEO DRAWED. I MISS LEO. I MISS SEEING HIM AND TALKING TO HIM WHEN I GO BACK TO OKLAHOMA CITY. ITS HARD TO MAKE FRIENDS AND WHEN WE LOSE SOMEONE WHO IS TRULY A FRIEND, IT HURTS.
