Hello, my name is Judy. A friend of my Mom's was Married to Candice Mossler' son from her 1st Marriage. He was I believe your Uncle Norman Johnson if memory serves correctly. When I was about 9 years old, My Mom and I went to visit her friend and her Fiance at the house where Mrs. Mossler lived in River Oaks. I remember looking for a bathroom in that big ole house. I was told not to go in any of the rooms just the Bathroom. I got lost and went into one of the bedrooms by mistake. I remember a lady sitting in the dark watching T.V. she turned around and looked at me and then turned back around and went back to watching T.V
