Mischelle Frazier oldest step daughter

September 25, 2025

To my handsome stepdad who never treated me differently, God knew a little girl who would´ve been lost without a special person to called daddy. I am Mischelle the oldest step daughter to Robert (bob)Cullifer. My mom was Mary. I have a lot of determined people in my life but no one could replace the man I grew up loving. The one who came home from rough necking with his gray lunch box and a hot bologna and melted cheese sandwhich uneaten from lunch inside it. He knew there was a big eyed little girl who was waiting at the glass door for him to get home.
I´d have his big cup of sugar made with coffee in it when he got home. no longer would I sit the coffee down I would run. Because The claw was what always got us running into each other and over the couch to get away. Mom would shake her head daddy would get in trouble too. He didn´t care that was our time. Many things Id see daddy go through, he would alway say Shello I had a blister bigger than that on my lip and still whistled. Tough or die.That was his motto. I know you haven´t gone far so Save a pole for me and a coon dog and we´ll go tree one.
P.s you´ll still have to take the fish off for me. Yuck! Love you daddy.
