What pleasant memories I have of my younger years in the Navy, while stationed in San Diego, CA. I spent many consecutive weekends with Imelda and Dick and many late evenings during those young years. They had much to do with my outlook on life, how I saw life and what the world had to offer. She always had smiles and encouragement for me, while brother Dick would give me some teaching tools and guidance for my Naval career. Although, we couldn't discuss his highly secretive projects, some of them did directly affect my working areas of my command and its fellow squadrons. Imelda, was always comforting and always reminded me of her coming and spending some winter months with us on the farm. Yes, she was a trooper, endured a great deal when first arriving in this nation, but she was so supportive and encouraging to her husband. She was his brick of sustainment and his best friend, and loudess cheerleader in all of his achievements. She was one-of-a-kind mother, wife and friend to all that crossed her path. We will always remember your joy, laughter and serving hospitality. You are missed, but know that you and your beloved are walking the streets of Gold, Praising the Lord Jesus for all the blessings that He blessed you two with during your precious years on this earth.
Love you, Dick's youngest brother, Ernie.
