Our Family

Click Any Pic To Enlarge


The grandchildren Aline never knew she would have, together for the first time. Cody, Brooke, and Sebrina.




Our family will bring her home one day.

Pictured are Karrie, Brooke, Myself, Morgan, Ana, Cody, Kaylee, Tiffany and Sebrina.


Karrie and her husband Mike, with our children playing right in front of Alines apartment.

See the little girl, far left, in the white shirt? That is my daughter Kaylee Fay. She was born on Alines birthday and named for her.



Karrie and Tiffany, two sisters together again after 22 years. In front of a place once known as The Wagon Wheel.

I love every one of you.

We love you too. Can't wait to see if we help bring resolution to this after all of these years.

It was really hard for me to be in front of Mom's apartment that day. Hard to believe that is where she spent her last days. It sure is a sad looking little place to me.

I know it must have been hard,

You know how when your a kid, and everything seems bigger? The first time I walked up on them as an adult, I could not believe how small that apt. looked.

It is a haunted place. As it should be.

hello christy we may or may not have met , but you never know. My name is Eddie Joe Gongre originally from Montgomery /St. Maurice, La. now in las vegas for the past 20 years . I was at one time very close to Wanda Hudson and If my memory is still Good have met Ailine at some time. as well As i was in the Brumley Bros Band at Sportsmans Lodge on Black Lake for many years.I even ran the Wagon wheel for a few months under Alices liscense in 1986-87 . But never heard nothing of the disappearence of Ailine. Which i found strange because small town news like that especially when it occurs in the bar you are now trying to revive doesnt go away quietly . But it was the 1st i'd had heard of it ,as Wandas Death was still a mystery and was 4 years prior. My life was a fog in those days anyway and tended to put lifes tragedys in a dark far away file in my mind as I had gone thru more than my share of losses before Wanda was murdered. I didnt keep the wagon wheel going but for 4-5 months then i soon left with another act on the road and ended up in las vegas leaving all that back in Louisiana.> but each time i ran into anyone from that area id always ask any news on who killed Wanda,And i got the local rumor but didnt put a lot of faith in that.Besides being 2000 miles away it would be just that a rumor. Then 2 weeks back,bored i did a search for my old haunts just to be nosey i guess just was reminising it was the first search on the Wagon wheel I heard of Ailines tragic demise and learned who had killed Wanda, All of a sudden it was if it was yesterday but instead of feeling any peace,all i felt was rage and anger. But as Im typing this I can tell it isnt the same crazy blind rage it was 2 weeks ago. Im sorruy for such a letter in your comments ,its the only way i knew to contact you and i wanted you to know my sincerity.But my anger was such that I wasnt even talking to my wife for days and she wanted to know what was wrong as i sat her down and told her about another part of my life i thought was gone just resurfaced. I will not string this out any more than I have to ,my reason for signing on to this blog was only to contact you in hopes of recieving an email from you . Just any simple contact in hopes of reaching her Uncle ,or better yet her little sister, as i dont think i met her brother and at this point in life asking about a mother or father can leave you with more bad news and heartache. Wanda had a little sister that worshipped her always calling her Sissy , And Wanda adored her as well, we would always go by the house and check on her before going out many times just go there to be with her ,I for the life of me cant remember her name .Just a cute loving little sister.Wanda and i were staring to get a little too close ,She had dreams and places yet to see and always talked of going to California,myself 7-8 years older than Wanda as well as being once married and divorced and only a few months out of a long term relationship had definitely been and seen more and totally understood the deal. But always missed Wanda, we just had alot of gut splitting crazy , harmless fun. So i went back on the road and I had heard she was going to California , Id like to know if she ever made there . It was such a topic for us.I was at the Little Rock sheraton when I got the phone call telling me she had been killed . the call was from my ex girlfriend but she as well as Wanda were such Ladies it was a sincere call of Bad news and heartbreak. Ill always miss wanda , even more now than i did then in some ways > She was such a fre spirit , but always a lady . Her picture was just the way I remembered her. Christy feel free to share my email with anyone of her family or friends . Im an open book on facebook as well under the same name . Id love to hear and share any thoughts . she deserves to be kept alive in as many hearts that can recall and smile upon a simple memory thank you and God bless you and all you hold dear
