My mom was the essence of living before her stroke. She was a hardworking nurse for 36 years in Owensboro ky and the best Nana to Deegan and Shelby who truly loved her. I know now she's closer to me now than she's ever been. I know I miss her daily. I love you forever and ever mom

I dated Gail off and on in 1961-1962. I never knew where I stood with her or how she felt about me? She was very nice, but she was nice to everyone. She was the first girl I ever took out and over the years I have felt she should of been the only girl I ever dated? I took her to the Masonic Temple in 1964 while home on leave from the Marines. She told me she was getting married. If I had known at the time who she was marrying, since I knew a little about the guy, I would of let her know my opinion of him. I met her again in 1966 after I was out of the Marines. We went out a few times. Again to the Masonic Temple. She did not discuss her private life. I assumed she was going through her divorce and it was not the time for me to be romantic. Plus her sister Sheila had just lost her husband in Vietnam. I knew her six years and only got one kiss from her. That was in 1966 and she told me I kissed wrong. At the end of 1966 I moved back to California. Met a girl there 6 months later. Went back in the Marines and went to Vietnam. Came home and married the girl. Married 30 years before divorce. I still live in S. Calif. I live in the mountains east of LA near Big Bear, CA. richardbealer@gmail.com
