Graduated from TCU in 1974. Went to work for USAA until after Sara was born. Stayed at home until she began kindergarten. Went to work as an office manager for a company offering very great support for family matters so was able to be homeroom mom for both my kids. 11 years ago began working for the federal government, seasonally, usually 6 months a year. Married in 1974, and still married to the same man. Live in the old neighborhood. Love reading, my dogs, family (not necessarily in that order). Grandtwins come out way on top of my list!!
I was probably the youngest in our class - I turned 16 in October of my senior year, so I was a late bloomer for so many reasons! I'm not sure how many people actually remember me, as I think I tended to stay in the background. I think being on the Drill Team with Mrs. Foren switching from being motherly to screaming at us on the parking lot during practice is probably up among my top memories - the practices, being part of the "team", the bus rides and singing to and from the games (although heaven knows we'd never get away with singing some of the songs these days - so not "pc")

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. I am experiencing so many contradictory feelings that at times I could explode. You who have lost a spouse can probably relate. Tom's death was so sudden and unexpected (at this time) that I still can't grasp it. Had I known this was going to happen when it did, our conversation before he went to bed would have been so different and I regret that. Selfish of me, I know. Because had I known, then that would have meant he was in pain and suffering. So there is relief that he died peacefully after we spoke of everyday things, but so much regret that I didn't get to thank him for the joys and sorrows we shared over the past 44 years. Since I was 17! It was truly a love at first sight for me, and, I think, for him as well. Again - thank you all!
Kathy, Sandra and I send our most heart felt thoughts and prayers to you at this difficult time. Be brave and stay happy knowing you'll see Tom again. May God Bless you.

I lost the love of my life this past Saturday morning. Thankfully, he died peacefully in his sleep at home after battling many things the past 4 years - late effects of radiation treatment received for a head/neck cancer 10 years ago, several bouts with pneumonia, a major heart attack 2 years ago, and failure to thrive. We thought things were looking up - we'd been referred to M D Anderson in Houston for his swallowing difficulties, I'm retiring this year, we were spending most weekends at our newly purchased vacation property in Rockport, had hopes to travel outside Texas. God has his reasons, and if we don't understand them now, we will later. Don't let a day go by without telling your loved ones that they are loved. I will miss Tom for the rest of my life.
A very Merry and Blessed Christmas and Happy New year to all!
Just wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah! We celebrate both in our family and enjoy all the traditions and blessings of both holidays. Love and peace to all!
