Remembering the Wylie family
My sister's neighbors " The Wylies" are about to be no more. Skag and Nivea recently divorced each other. Skag moved back to Montana and Nivea has terminal cancer which she is now in a coma and is not expected to recover. Glendon was offered stuff out of the house , since it was up for sale and the items would be going anyways. When my sister calls, mom and I will get the details on what was offered and how things are being handled. In this picture sits Skag Wylie and Sean Michael. Skag was always close to Sean Michael when he was living with Skag and Nivea. This was when Sean Michael was alot younger. In this picture, Sean Michael is older and living with his mom. Sean Michael was kind of the glue which held Skag and Nivea together. I always had regrets of not having more pictures taken with Skag and Nivea. The one memory I had was when we all went to "The Jockey Club" in Ocala. The Jockey Club was a fine restaurant eating establishment with a fancy view of the horse farms and piano music to entertain. I know we have pictures someplace which was prior to digital cameras at least for me. Skag had a fancy workshop and Nivea had her own sewing apartment. She was a serious seamstress who made wedding dresses and party dresses and what people needed to be made. She even sewed mom some light weight cotton shirts, so mom could keep the sun off of her arms. Skag had a simplistic countryness about him. He helped my sister out with repairs and even helped her bury a horse. On the other hand, Nivea was the outspoken Spanish mom who could cook up big fancy meals at holiday time when Glendon, mom and I would come over to visit. Nivea had her own opinion about the way things should be and she let you know. Once the place is sold, it should be a lot more quiet and not as lively.
