Halloween costumes

December 29, 2019
Hi Sweetheart,
Halloween was one of your favorite days. You were very creative and made many costumes. I found this picture of a Halloween in Agua Dulce with costumes you made for both of us as M&Ms. I love it because it shows your beauty and happiness! Jason was at the bottom and maybe Jennifer was taking the picture. Picture is in the photos.

I love this picture of Donna when she was happiest with her "babies".

Good Times Good Friends Share

Summers at Point Magu. Fishing with your Dad.  The officer's club.  Body surfing at Zuma beach. You getting sun burned.  Going to fellowship on Friday nights then to the Corbin theater. Sneaking out at night when we slept at each others house.  Smoking in the alley. 
Your wedding, my wedding.  The first day we met in  1963 when you were walking home from school.  Summers at Shoup Park pool.  Playing at the park, "King of the Mountain".  Riding cardboard down the hill by Shoup Park.  Renting moe-peds.
The Christmas we both got our "leather" coats.  The time you used my Dad's double edge razor and cut the hell out of your leg.  Smoking out of your bathroom window and thinking no one would know.  Going over to your house after school and having rye toast.  Going to guitar lessons with you and your Dad.  Watching you dance.  You were great!!   Joanne driving your Dad's HUDSON to the drive-in with, Sue Erickson, you and I.  

Sooo many memories.  I truly miss you.

Love,
Carol 

Out in the snow

June 19, 2013

All us girls were planning a night out as one last girls night before I was off to Hawaii to get married. Of course we would not leave you out of this event Donna. Honestly, I did not think you would show up because you said to me when I invited you "you don't need this ole lady with you". I told you I wanted you there, but it is ok if you can't make it. I told you the time and place and would text you more details.

The night of the party arrived  and the day got away from me and I never sent that text. I went to grab my phone and call you and noticed the snow was coming down pretty hard and thought to myself...she will never want to come downtown to party with us in this weather....and I put my phone down. 

About an hour went by and one person had arrived so far. There was a knock at the door and there was our beloved Donna ready to party it up and dressed for the occasion. 

You amazed me all night as you were out there on the dance floor and joining us in every activity. Then to top it off you made sure everyone made it home safe including driving a few home.

You are the best Donna! Love you and miss you every day!      

Time and time again...

Mom,
    So many times growing up I wanted to prove how independent I could be.  Most times I would refrain from asking things or asking for things.  I would ask and say "its okay." Of course, Mom, you always had a solution to my problem no matter how tough or trivial. 

What I had loved most is that you let me come to you...


Now, I wish I had come to you more... 


Just for the sake of talking to you... 

Who am I going to call now?

One evening when Jeremiah was about two he was reaching up and pulled a candle holder off of a dresser and the stake went right through his bottom lip. 

I could not get the bleeding to stop and blood was everywhere so I panicked and like a good mother, instead of calling 911, I called my mom.  

In the calmest of calm voices she said to me……Remember when you went out and pierced your bottom lip? 

Welcome to motherhood, your son just followed in your footsteps…..

I Miss You Mom!
