These two darling little girls had a sad story, but they overcame their beginnings. Here's what the journaling says:
A Sad Story
Kathryn and Geraldine were my mother's cousins. They were left motherless when their dear mother died trying to give birth to a baby brother. Neither the baby nor the mother survived. Fortunately, the sisters were members of a large family, including their father, aunts, uncles and grandparents. Not a single need went ignored, and they had all the love and attention they could want. Occasionally their family would take the two girls to the cemetery in Houston, Texas, which is part of a coastal area with a low elevation. The two little girls would be shocked to see that water was standing on their mother's grave and they would cry for hours as they grieved over the loss of their mother and the condition of her grave. After this went on for some time, their grandfather decided to build a family mausoleum, and the girls' sadness eventually subsided to the point that they could function as normal children.
