"I've been touched by so many, I've actually lost track of names, but faces and dates are indelible. San Francisco was a great place to start my journey, even though Dad thought the Beatles Haight-Ashbury were going to commune and cause the end of society. I'm so glad Dad was wrong! It all got me interested in the arts, and beauty, and those camping trips to Southern Oregon, Ashland, and SOC.
College at SOC was a continuation, and oh, I met a guy, fell in love, got married, and had a beautiful baby girl. Manda - I bragged about you to all, so continue to brag for me, I won't mind - but she probably will. Mom's very proud! Oh Dominic, you handsome little fellow. How smart and charming you are. What a blessing and a privilege to be your Grandma. And to the other joy of my life - my big little brother, Jim, and his beautiful family in Long Beach - thanks for your everlasting standup comedy.
Since Linda Vista became my home fifteen years ago, I have been surrounded by many loving friends. To the many special people, Father John, Sandy, Nancy, Donny, Cate, Carolyn, Loretta, Ray, and all of the others that brightened my days. I've cherished your help, counsel, friendship and love and really hope you all feel the same way. And to my Allan, I feel so fortunate to have crossed paths with you. Thank you for loving and understanding me.
And it would be unthinking of me to leave out my dearest friend, Fayegail, who brought me much happiness throughout the years. You'll always be in my heart, and I'll always be in yours. Don't be sad that I'm gone, for we will see each other again one day."
