Note from Marietta
e Our family went through a very very traumatic era which lead to Elna's family excluding her while accusing me of abusing and controlling Elna. The struggle to take care of Elna while going through emotional trauma and abuse upon both of us is, according to our doctor, the probable cause of our brain bleeds aka strokes. Elna passed away and I am disabled.

Putting our story out is something both of us wanted to do after her passing. I'm pushing it out now because with my TBI, reduced cognition, and prone to more strokes (and chemotherapies), I fear I must work through it while I am still able. It is a hard task with my reduced cognition, heightened stress, and emotional pain reliving this era of our lives over and over.

Elna and I want the world and our family to know that we loved, respected, and took care of each other.
