I Was There Before the Strangers Came

This song is more than music—it is a daughter’s call for awareness. My parents, Clyde Ray Locke Sr. and Elouise Lipford Locke, faced years of medical crisis, caregiving, isolation, and legal battles that later spilled into probate and the loss of our family homestead. I continue to challenge what happened, including notice, title, financial transparency, sanctions, ADA access, and whether our constitutionally protected homestead was properly handled. I’m not asking anyone to blindly believe me. I’m asking people to look at the records, follow the title, follow the money, read the transcripts, and ask the hard questions. Too many families stay silent because fighting powerful systems can feel impossible. Please watch, share, and help raise awareness. Every vulnerable adult, caregiver, heir, and family deserves dignity, due process, transparency, and accountability. Truth should never be punished for asking questions. #ElderJustice #Probate #Homestead #ADA #DueProcess #FollowTheMoney #FamilyJustice
