Where do I begin? First off..Holli Ann, you are thee best daughter EVER! Well, maybe not as a teenager hee hee. You asked for pictures and memories of your Mother. I have many that are packed away, but this is one which has a memory with it. Shana's wedding. See your Mothers dress? Well...we were having a dance off to see who sat down first. The DJ played all kinds of music and we never sat down. He played an Irish jig and your Mom was kicking up those heels and I look over and the strap on her underdress broke and she was just a dancing and her boob out...Her face was priceless...I won bahahaha. I have so many and can't wait to tell them to you while hugging each other. Love the music..she was always my Janis Joplin! We bowled for the Pow Wow club in the early 70s and always went to hear live music at the Club Alladin after bowling. Well.....as we buzzed, we decided to go up on the stage with this band from out of town. Sharon sang and I grabbed the extra saxaphone that was sitting there. Every time the real sax player would play, I acted like I was really playing. HILLARIOUS. We go the bathroom and and all the girls were saying...damn, you guys are so good. LOL. Love the pics ypu chose. One was when she was in my wedding (and you were my flower girl..because you could spell phlegm before going to school lol) and the other one is when we were on Main St for lunch when we worked for NEU OR in Chicago when a friend (Louie?) got a new Vega 4 cyl and was bragging on the gas mileage. So we said Let us take you home (drunk lol). So your Mom, Katy Didiuk, and I decided to go see Sheila Nelson in Sarasota, Florida and go to Disney World. We were WILD. All my deepest sympathy and prayers for PEACE for you, Jim, my Mason jar, Logan pool, and of course my Brother from another Mother...Ralph Michael Lentz.

I met Sharon in 1981 when she met and married my friend, Michael Sieden. She brought together a large group of women friends on multiple occasions for “Girls night out” at her place. We were dubbed by one of the husbands as the “Sluts from Hell” and Sharon was named our Queen! My favorite memories include travels with Sharon. She told me one of her favorite things about me is that she got to travel to places that she otherwise wouldn’t see. I have a summer place near Boston, I have moved from Minnesota to Phoenix to Santa Fe and Sharon has visited each place and I visited her in Florida. Attached is a picture from our trip in my RV to the Grand Canyon.I miss Sharon more than I can say.
