I don’t know if there was ever any hairpieces in her hair then or not. Her daughter-in-law had started fixing her hair and did it the rest of Vestal’s life. She was Vestal’s personal assistant.

    i get to see that gate before long.... Hallelujah.
    Hope these folks are singing this when I get there.
    Can you imagine hearing this tune as it echoes through the streets of Heaven?
    As I recall, the Eastern Gate is the Messiah's Gate, or Golden Gate, etc. -- the oldest gate in earthly Jerusalem.
    Now sealed, it will be opened when Jesus returns,
    to fulfill another messianic prophecy --
    we will KNOW he's the Messiah when he opens the gate.

      @@trevorlongley8995. Yes, she told in her book that it was a wig. So this must have been before her surgery, because she said that after that, she didn’t care to mess with the wig. Johnny Cook filled in for her while she was out for her heart surgery. It was in October 1974 and it was sometime in the spring of 1975 before she was able to go back.
