I will always cherish our memories, the campouts, water skiing, taking our first skinny dip, while my Dad stood at the beginning of the dock to make sure we had a safe experience. Going on vacation with your family to Canada, the YWCA dances back in the day, our shopping trips to Import Market and eating choclate covered bugs...the fancy record player your folks got you that had crazy lights on it, we would listen to Woodstock, over and over. Our little sneak outs' and walking the city late at night, laughing, having simple fun and laughing. The birth of your precious children and what a ninny you were when it came to the pain, so when Holly came, you told the Doc just knock me out, just knock me out, and he did...I love you honey, and always will. Love means never having to say Good-Bye...see you in heaven. Debbie (Finch) Kiriwn
