Mrs. Dooley, Ann, though the time has passed and I have grown older and a little more wiser and now I am with wife and daughter, the memory of you is fresh in my mind. It seems like it was only yesterday when I would sit out on the tie beam in the front yard waiting for Angel to let me in.
Many, many fond memories, warm memories...you are not forgotten by me at all. And even though the passage of time has lessened the pain of losing you, you are Home with God and the rest of your loved ones there. Well, I shall regal stories of you to my daughter when she grows old enough to understand. Much love and Happy Birthday, Mom !!
