Memories we have of our beloved Wife, Mother & Nana:
I remember one year when my Nana De came out to AZ to visit my Mom and I, the two of us were home while my Mom had to work. We needed some groceries from the store- so we walked a mile to the nearest one. I was a little scared walking by the main street. She held my hand as we walked and told me we are surrounded by white light that they will always GUIDE, DIRECT & PROTECT us. Now when I say those words to myself, I know she is watching over us from above! You will always be our sunshine. -Michelle
Having Mom and Dad move out to Arizona three years ago to take better care of Mom. One of many memories I had of mom was when I came home from work one morning she was sitting at the table and said, “Good morning I have dementia!” I had to laugh and say, “YES YOU DO and you’re a happy person that has dementia" –Beth
I will never forget learning how to drive, mastering the clutch- the jerking motion with my Mom and sister in the 64 ½ convertible mustang that was a dark blue with a white top. My face turned red from the embarrassment of their laughter. – Rick
We have had 65 wonderful years together, creating so many memories with so many people. She had a lot of readings with different people along the years. One year we had taken a trip to Arkansas, looked at a map and took a two-lane country road to our destination. There was not any traffic and I remember a big sign in the middle of the road that said Bridge Out Ahead High Waters. I pulled over next to a cornfield to take a map out, on the passenger side of the car there stood a woman who came to the window and asked, “Can I help you?” I said, “We can’t find a detour to the road.” The woman told them, “To take a right, go down three miles past a church, 9-10 miles to the main highway- right at the turn off where the train trestle highway puts us back on the road we were on before.” When we got home and talked to Sandy, a friend who is also a reader, she said, “That was an Angel.” -Robert
