Long, beautiful, curly, blonde hair. Like Chuck used to say, she had legs all the way to Bakersfield.
Chuck and I had been out at a couple friend of ours that night, and we'd gotten home late, and we crawled into bed, but it was about 1.30 in the morning. And I answered the phone.
I handed the phone over to Chuck, and the next thing I remember hearing was, and he sat bolt right up in bed and said, what do you mean she's missing? I'll never forget that as long as I live.
They had gathered Sandra up off of a coral reef, bleeding all over, but Devereaux was missing.
We've lived in the darkness of how this hovered over our lives.
My theory is, my brain, what I think was supposed to happen, and this is just me and my brain thinking, it's not a fact, I think they were both supposed to die that day.
She was impacting their lives big time.
hit her terribly. She lost her father in an airplane crash, and she lost her 16-year-old sister, younger sister, in an automobile crash within a two-year period of time.
I was still married to my Lutheran minister husband, and we used to get together with a bunch of other ministers every now and then because they knew each other. The wives liked each other. And one time, we went over to a pastor's house here in Oak Cliff, Dallas. One of the other couples had invited to the party Gail. Chuck Claver and his present wife, Sandra Claver.
She was very intelligent, very pretty, and she was very different.
And she was telling the women in the kitchen, two of them being minister's wives, I wasn't in the kitchen at this time. But she was telling them that she could change the wine back into water.
Yeah. Whereas Jesus, of course, changed water into wine as his first miracle on earth. She said because of her power, she could turn the wine back into water, to which, of course, the minister's wife said, please don't.
I didn't know their marriage was going to heck at that time, but I soon found out later from one of the other ministers that their marriage was not looking good.
Then the reason for their divorce... was because Terry Hoffman had told Sandra that Chuck was impeding Sandra's spiritual growth.
He was about to get custody, and not only his attorney, but Sandra's attorney came to him and said to him, You are about to get custody of your daughter.
But the first time that Sandra Cleaver has visitation rights, we fear for your daughter's life.
They had joint custody then, but Devereaux lived with Sandra.
I've got my daughter Kristen sitting right next to me, Jonathan, because she was just two months different in age than Devereaux when Devereaux died. Chrissy can also tweak my memory if I forget anything, but I'm pretty good at memory on this.
Chuck was very cautious. He did not like this. But Devereaux really wanted to go. She wanted to go with her mother.
Very shortly before they were to take off... I'll never forget this either. The doorbell rang. Chuck wasn't here. He was at work. And I went to answer the door, and it was Devereaux. And I said, sweetheart, what are you doing here? And she said she was over visiting her friend Carolyn.
