At our age not much changes, however, I have had a couple of changes. First My son Tony and his wife gave my husband and I our first grandchild. A little boy named Jack and we couldn't be happier. Second, a year ago we had 4 Boxers and had to put two down within weeks of one another so recently we got two more. We survived hurricane Irma and as of today (10/20/17) the debris piled up in front of our house for over a month is finally gone! I told you not much changes at our age!

David, I hope you have had a wonderful birthday, you deserve it I'm sure. Maybe a Jethro Tull Concert, a little weed, oh wait a minute I was having a flash back!!!!! I will always have wonderful memories of our days in high school and after we left NE. Happy Birthday, with love, Debbie

Have a wonderful birthday, I hope you do something fun. Debbie

So you have a birthday coming up, hope yours is better then mine was! I hate being 65!
I have tried several different ways to get in touch with you, email, calling and I have never been able to get anything to go through. I wanted to let you know that my mom passed away in October. The last 6 months of her life were a living hell for her and for me. I became the primary caretaker about Feb of this year and I don't ever want to do that again and I have already set in motion legally what I need to do to make sure my kids don't have to deal with anything like that. Up until about May she still remembered you when I talked to her about "the old days"! I'm sorry to put a damper on your birthday greeting but as I said I tried several times to contact you. Happy Birthday, Love you, Debbie

Tom I wanted to let you know so you could tell your mom, that my mom passed away last week. It was very unexpectedly and we weren't at all prepared for it turn out to be as serious as it was. I know my mom and yours used to play bridge and some other things together. Hope everything is going well for you and the boys. Debbie

I have just recently taken my family genealogy as far as I can at this point. I spent the past 17 years researching, taking me to Salt Lake City, National Archives and several location in Europe over the years. I put the information together for my cousins and sister with pictures. I guess what I am getting at is this discovered a profound love of those who came before me. It showed me how and why I am who I am. There are family stories and some surprises along the way as to who I am related to and people in my past who had an impact on how our country came to be. I would love to do that for anyone else that is interested in finding our about your lineage. It is a little more complicated when you aren't familiar with past relatives, etc. but still fun. I truly enjoyed every minute, and loved the times that gave me surprises about who I am related to or where they came from.
I am willing to help anyone who would like to explore their origins. Debbie

Tom I am so sorry to hear about your dad. My sister called me. I do remember that your parents were good friends with mine and that they and their "gang" always seemed to enjoy each other. I know how hard it is to lose a parent and I also know that you will need to lean on your family. I will keep you in my prayers. Debbie

Happy Birthday, I hope you have a wonderful day today.
