Tommy - Yosemite - Nov. 2010

My Darling Husband. I cannot believe it is a whole year that you have been gone. It seemed impossible to be without you for a day, week, month and now a year. I miss you every moment of every day, and I will love you forever.

Gortie, it was not the same without you this Christmas. We have so many happy memories of wonderful Christmas times, and for that I am grateful. Love you so much.

Gortie, you were greatly missed on Father's Day, and every day, My Love. Remembering those wonderful Sundays at the Hotel Del listening to Ron's Garage.

I worked in the same office with Tom for about seven years. I still remember the day he said he was retiring and I groaned "Oh great." I only thought of the impact on me. But now, I'm glad that Tom did retire and got to spend the past few years with Bette and doing things he loved instead of here at his desk (which is where I sit and work now). I'm carrying on your legacy here my friend. I hope they have typewriters (or computers) in heaven.
Miss you Big Guy.
love,
Maris

Bette, I was not successful in sending my last entry so will try again.
You and Tom taught me to care for the stray cats when I lived in Julian.
You, Bette, showed me such beauty and grace, and humor.
And Tom taught me that one can make a wonderful story out of any incident!
I am so sad that he no longer roars from the mountain-top, just for the joy of life's surprises.
He was so lucky to find a mate so perfectly complementary to his joy of life.
I hope you are...

I will miss you every day, my Love, for the rest of my life.
