ONE OF THE GOOD ONES…gone but never forgotten
When I got the news I didn't know what to say, so I just hung up the phone.
I took a walk and all I could think about was the good times we shared…it seems like only yesterday
• Camping at Brant Park and Halloween parties with Donna and Rick.
• Canada Day celebrations with Ma and Pa, Mar and the kids at Port Dover.
• Gatherings with Porky and the gang, at Harvey's burger joint Friday and Saturday nights.
• Cruising the downtown on the bike with Brenda, Harvey and Paul.
• Saturday grocery trips to the Hi Way Market in Kitchener with Uncle Bobby.
• Working and helping Mar at the Gillies Guy Gas Bar (turned into a whole darn family thing).
• Canasta games with Joanne and Barb and keeping the kids quiet
• Saturday morning cartoons with Jason and Chris in our PJ's
• Riding the moped in the parking lot up town with Morgan and all the gang.
• Late night hockey games and early morning practices. Tim Horton coffee and donut runs and making sure every player
had a ride to the arena.
• Family holidays to Wasaga Beach, Crystal Beach and vacationing in Myrtle Beach with Stan & Zina.
• Long and short trips on the motorcycle and explanations to people as to which sister you were actually married to, Lol!
Spring fever and the open road…there was nothing like it.
• Beach boy -Surfer girl, Good vibrations playing on the 8 track tape and Steppenwolf -Magic Carpet Ride, Tina Turner -
Proud Mary
I've pulled out all the pictures, ones with you in them. Laughed and cried a little, all by myself. I can't help but think about how you were taken way too soon. You lived life to the fullest on your terms, ride the open road into the sunset, now it has no end.
I know you're in a better place and that one day I'll see you again!
Your sister-in-law Doreen
