Until we meet again
On Wednesday night, my stepfather, Dr. Mike passed away. Last night I folded Dr. Mom's arms, closed her eyes and kissed her good-bye too. And this song, sung by Marlene Dietricht comes to mind;
" Änd when I die, don't spend my money
on candles and a picture in a frame
just see what the boys in the back room will have
and tell them I'm having the same..."


Molly, my thoughts are with you. Dr. Mom was a fine lady and I will always remember her fondly.
hugs.

Sorry to hear you lost your Mom, Molly. She sounded like a good one.

Molly sorry for your loss. I can definetely sympathize and you know why. Feel free to email me if you need to vent.

Oh, Molly, I'm sorry. I know that you loved Dr. and Dr. very deeply, and will miss them terribly.
Please add me to the chorus of love: Anything you need -- company, space, more pudding -- you just say the word.

Now, those of you who knew the firociuos Dr. Mom lift up your glasses in salute. Those of you in 21218 with a truck, give Hubby a call.

Oh, Molly, I'm so very, very sorry for your loss. It's terribly hard to lose a parent, and to lose two in a weeks' time is unimaginable. We're all thinking of you.

I'm so sorry. It's hard to lose one. But two in so short of a time?
Unimaginable.

Oh, jeez. My thoughts are with you. I'm going to pour two shots on the ground for them.
Posted by: eebmore | December 12, 2005 at 03:35 PM
Oh Eeb, no! Don't waste two good shots like that! Drink them or buy them for a venerated friend, and make it Dickle...And thank you, all, I appreciate you thoughts and wishes.
