I never knew you. My mother is your step mother. I found out of your death the day of your funeral. I am your step brother in law. One day I will understand why our family bloodline and heritage is guarded with strange secrets and shadows. Lori has more than one family and I dont understand this at all Bobby. If any family members can fill me in. Please. I deserve to know who my Step brother in law is and was. I am not entitled though. At all. To our family. I hope you understand I have every bit of love and compassion for you all. I am turning my whole life around for you all in so many ways. I am sober and recovering from the mental illness brought on by years of physical abuse and mental abuse at the hands of my father Arthur Paul Kester. Let Lori know I have no answers and alot of questions. I understand our family where Quakers from Philadelphia. I know for a fact I am not Arthurs Son. Ive been told by my grandmother Linda that my grandmother was A Native American Cherokee. I also am aware of Stella Kesters secrets and how she passed away.... ( Married to Arthurs father ) I know for a fact that I have 6 obituaries on myself written by the Scranton Times. I am bewildered and upset. Lost and heartbroken my whole life. Arthur is a Satanist raised by a team Men and women all assorted and inbred. ( family genealogy proves this) Lori has 6 aliases all over Pa Easton and Scranton. Hard to believe . I am longing to meet you all with all my hearts intents of talking over a cup of coffee or tea. One conversation. Or even an email or two would put me at ease and cure my worried tired heart. I hope this finds all of you well. ( Lori also lives on Allentown Pa with her 3rd husband who is a lawyer) If you do not believe me please look at Her fathers obituary. His name is Richard Case and he had a wife named Linda Case who refuses to tell anyone who and what her maiden name is or was. II am not after money or a home or even a loving family. I got all I need . I dont know who my father is and I have a a sinking feeling that Bobby would of known. Could he be my father? Lori amd Art have fed me so many false stories about my genealogy and my birthplace and my whole family never had looked me in the eyes when I was a child. No pity though. I am asking for the truth and maybe a hug . That would help. The more I dig the facts up the more strange life becomes. Strange is ok. I am strange and unusual myself. I have a huge heart. My younger brother Benjiman would always talk about bobby and tease me with movie lines replacing the actors names with "Bobby" . I was a confused child. I was put into six different types of abuse and have mild ptsd from all of this. I am getting better and send you all my heart. Love and condolences . My email is mcflypubes@gmail.com . Forgive the name.. .i had no clue why my email is so messed up ... I have a sense of humor for sure. I have natural black curly hair and hazel brown eyes and a pale yellow tint to my skin. My hobbies are vast and creative. I am heavily into music and the arts and action sports are a big part of my life. I really hope that one of my brothers or sisters contact me about Bobby. Thank you and all love and respect. I know my genealogy but this black veil can be lifted if someone comes forth with the truth. I havent taken a blood test yet and would like to know for real this time Again all love and bless you all.
