So sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. You sure enjoyed many years with her with such good memories. Hold on to those during this difficult time.
So sorry for you loss Gan. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Gan, so sorry to hear of your Mother’s passing. I sure have a lot of memories of your Mom, Dad, you, and Jeff when you, Jeff and I were growing up. Our parents were very good friends and had lots of fun together. I think they are all in heaven having a big gab fest. You have many good memories to hang on to and she will live on in your heart and your families heart.
Gan, as i now reflect on my life loosing both of my parents recently, i wish to thank your family for my personal success due to my work ethic inspired by your parents and mine at the young age of 14 when i started working at the dq. I have cared for them in my home for the past 10 years as Shirley, a day lady , suffered with dementia. Many days she re- lived her days cutting vegetables. It has been a journey as a caretaker. Now I search to thank all the people that influenced who I have become including your parents. Both my parents died in my home peacefully as their wishes and glad to read your’s as well. This post was a stretch to reach out but for my mind, a sincere debt of gratitude to persons whom I’ve needed to thank. Many memories to sort through as well as items such as an ticket order pad from the 70’s. Know that George and Joann have been in my thoughts and prayers for years as well as you and yours. Blessings, Debi Martin Bob and Shirley Martin’s daughter. Deb4hearts@yahoo.com
