I am on a lonely journey. My darling husband passed away on October 4, 2011. I know I must move forward but I don't want to without my beloved. We were supposed to enjoy the fruits of his labor He worked until they carried him out of the mines to the hospital. Even the hospital let us down. Out of all this bad, God has been so good to me-- the people in my community, my family, especially my children, inlaws, and grandchildren.

I journey back in time 1975-1976
We met on the weekend after Valentine Day. I remember thinking another VD and no boyfriend. I was living in a little trailer behind Fotos Meat Market with several other girls, who came and went. Nancy was an LPN at BARH on midnight shift. I was a ward clerk. Anyways this goofy boy called the trailer all day, asking for me, telling Nancy he wanted to take me to a party. She finally told him if he would stop calling, I would go out with him. So when I got home, there he sat, and there sat Nancy, mad as a wet hen so I went to the party with Bobby Holiday. The party turned out to be at Randall's apartment. Randy was with this beautiful girl named Jenny but I didn't know any of this. Bobby went to get some beer from the frig. I sat down on the couch. Jenny was perched on the arm of the chair and out of the kitchen emerged the most handsome man I had ever seen. He had long blonde hair, suntanned skin, even in Feb., tight blue jeans and a blue tight tshirt and blue suede boots. I had on a thin soft green sweater and tight jeans and clogs. He sat down beside me. He started talking, asking me where I was from. He said:"Where you been all my life?" I looked into his eyes and said Clear Creek. He thought that was so funny. Then he touched my hair and I said: I guess I was waiting for you to show up." We stood up and touched hands, electricity. He pulled me close to him, to see how much taller he was than me. 5 foot 2 and 6 ft. 4. Everyone in the room kept trying to get my attention or talk to Randy. They said he had never acted like that before. We sat and talked all night. I don't even know what happened to our dates or anyone else in the room. We fell in love the moment our eyes met. Of course, I finally had to go home. He walked me to the porch. Then he walked me to the car and started it up for me and laughed at my pinto. I never did find my date but at least I had my pinto.The next day, I could not find my purse. I remembered leaving it at Randy's the night before. I went back to his apartment. I knocked on the door. He opened the door and I walked in. I think we have been together ever since. We were married 4 months later on the 4th of July, 1976. I know some people go their entire life searching for love like we had. We had a passionate marriage right up to the end. Oh of course we had problems but we always, always loved each other. Together Forever.
