Myra Allen:  

Life Hey there! I am living a great life, working hard, enjoying my children who are now 21 & & almost 20 now. I work as a service rep for "the NEW At&t" (Bellsouth) in a specialty group called Local Number Portability. I love my job! I have 30 yrs with the company, but won't be able to retire til at least the children are through college :c( I had 28yrs with Johnny Allen, who was in my high school home room. He's a hard worker & a wonderful daddy to my children! We married Oct 1978. I grew up at First Baptist, Canton. Since I moved to Acworth, the Lord led me to do His work here in the community I live. I found a great church fellowship at Summit Baptist Church. I'm in their choir & belong to a wonderful ladies SS class. We've had our share of hard times. Our 1st dtr, Janna developed serious brain damage after recovering from Reye's Syndrome at 6mos old. That sweet gal gave us 5yrs of awe & wonder before the Lord took her. She was born May 1982. She died Aug 1987. April 2000 Johnny's mother had a stroke that left her right side paralized. We lived with her then, while our new house was being built, then brought her with us into the new house. Joann amazed us being able to walk and do all she did after her stroke. Joann died March 2006. My dear mom(Betty Bagwell) had Alzheimer's. Through it all, Mom never lost her smiles & was always ready to give out hugs. We learned that all her Chastain ancesters had A's, so when I start acting odd, you'll know it's my turn for it:c) Mom died May 2005. Daddy (Wayne Bagwell) went in to get one of his arteries opened up to his heart--a simple procedure done every day. Daddy had some complications though & died soon after his surgery. His death was a shock to us--thought Mom'd go first. Daddy died Oct 2004. After Joann died, I kind of gained back my freedom. I enjoyed being active in church again & I found all kinds of excuses to travel to nearby places. My dream trip would be up the east coast up to Maine to pig out on REAL lobster, then mosey around the northeast, back down thru PA & VA..th...Expand for more
