Grief and Genealogy

Source:  Family Tree Chart Free Google Docs Template - gdoc.io ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I suppose it was a form of grieving, but since my father passed away in 2022 , I haven't had much heart in continuing our family genealogy. I deleted my accounts at various family tree sites and even turned one over to a distant cousin (which I now regret). Then yesterday, for some reason only the Lord knows, I decided to look-up Great Grandmother Coatney Elizabeth Cole and see what would pop up.  I found an obituary for her and a death notice for her husband John Tidwell that had been posted at Find-a-Grave. So, I'm back on the trail with a mission to clear up some faulty family stories and present some facts.  Friends, don't try to rush grief - it's a process and we all go through it when losing someone close to us. Trust God. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear Father in Heaven, I pray You will comfort those who have lost loved ones and whose hearts are heavy with grief. Thank You for giving...
