Hi again!! I am Roberta Danniele Frazee. I was born
on December 30, 1952 in Connellsville, PA.. I grew up in Uniontown, PA. and surrounding area. When I was in 5th grade
we moved to a small town called Smock. And when I say small,,I mean small,, I lived on a farm from 1963 to 1970.
We had rented a small farm house there, we had chickens, cows, pigs and a couple horses. I lived there with my
dad and stepmother.. To say the least, the term "wicked stepmother" is not exaggerated, to say, she was the meanest woman..
Anyway, we (me, my dad & stepmother) to a trailer, that my dad had bought and put it on some
land. That was in 1970, I was 17 at the time,, We had only been there a few months when I decided I had to leave home
and went to New York to live with my older sister, who had left home years earlier.. When we still lived in Uniontown, I had
yet to know about my real mother, whom I was told by my stepmother , that she didnt love me and wanted nothing to do with
me,, now is that the right thing to tell a small child,, I think not,,, but being a little kid, I believed all the lies I
had been told, so go figure,, It wasn't till years later that I learned the whole truth..
To go back a bit,,, when I was 3 yrs old, my dad had taken me and my older sister away from
our mother when he learned that she had planned on taking us out of the country and to Costa Rica with the man that she eventually
married,, So, you see, I had absolutly no contact with my mother from that day,, When we were still living in Uniontown,
this lady came to see me and my sister and as it tuned out , that lady was my mother, but since I had no idea of who she was,
I turned right around and ran into the house screaming and crying,, To this day , I regret that, for you see, that was the
first and last time I had seen my mother..
My mother had another baby girl in 1960, her name is Val Ann, and until just recently have
never spoken or seen her,, well I still haven't seen her, but on Thursday, April 24 2003, I finally found her. My older
and I have been looking for her for such a long time it was great finding her,, but I shall tell you more about that later,,
My mother died in August of 1963, she was only 34 years old, and she still had a long life
ahead of her but cut short by a brain anuerysm(sp).. I was asked if I had wanted to go to the funeral, but I refused,, how
could I go to the funeral of someone that I had never known, and that , I also regret now, maybe that is why my life totally
fell apart, I dont know, I guess I will never know.
I guess that is all for now,, I will continue later,,,
