June 12, 2016: Mom's Death

It just dawned on me that this is the one year anniversary of Mom's death.  I was thinking it was the 14th or 15th.  But, I am not good at special dates.  Just look at how many times I got bin trouble for her birthday.

Hard to believe that both of our parents are now gone.

My advice to you is to enjoy your parents as much as possible while you have them.

A Sad September 14th for Me: My Mother Is No Longer Here

This is a hard day for me as my mother, Barbara, would have been 86 today.  But we lost her suddenly back in June.

Visiting Goldsboro just isn't going to be the same.

However, she lived a good life and a long one.  My dad died at age 69.  Plus, other than some age ailments, she was getting around and doing what she wanted to do (and that was a lot).  She was involved in many things in her beloved Goldsboro, N.C..

She was born in the house she died in.  Not many can say that.

I Sure Miss Her.

Some Interesting Stories About Mom and Dad

I entered a newspaper article about Mom and her experiences growing up across the street from Herman Park here in Goldsboro.

Plus, Mom had a three page resume that dad had written probably in 1954 when he was looking to get a job as an insurance adjuster. It took me three entries to finish it.

These will all be on April 7th and at
