Description

Margaret Rhyne loved and cared for her daughter Alexis for 29 years before Alexis unexpectedly passed away in 2005. Alexis began suffering seizures at eight weeks old, and never grew larger than a five-year-old. Even though Alexis was never able to walk, talk, or feed herself, Margaret worked to give Alexis a normal life, involving her in family functions, trips to the grocery store, and other opportunities for social interaction. This is the story of life after Alexis as well, including restoring a 1910 Sears catalogue home in Sedalia in honor of Alexis' memory.
