I am so glad that I live in a place without snow.

Rest in Peace, dear Gilchrist.

I remember when he told me his folks had changed the spelling of his name.

Gil loved baseball, and was in a team with my brother Rick. Class of 1968.

He also liked to hear the stories my husband, Alfred, told about all the places he had gone cycling. Gil wanted to know what bicycles he had. I could only say he had 14 bikes!! Then, I would tell Alfred where Gil liked to go.

Gil did not like me. Being an atheist, he didn't like that I posted so many Catholic things. However, in the last few years, we could text, and talk about anything. 

We were not teenagers any more, and I'm glad we could act like adults.

I was glad to read all the comments that many of you have sent.

Wishing all of you a happy holiday!

Happy Birthday Roger. I call you Jefe because you really lead us all. Thanks for all the things you do.
With love, Mary W.

Well done Anna. (I too knew Vita Bertrand.)

Kathryn was always charming and gracious, with those beautiful eyes, and that gorgeous smile. But her heart, something we couldn't see, was her true gift to everyone she knew. 

I am sorry she was in pain at the end, and now believe she is free of all worldy sorrow and suffering. Yes, Anna, she is praying to you, as you pray to her. Your friendship is still there, and will be forever.

Another welll-loved Paly student and friend has passed. We who remain will never forget him.

It is very sad and hard to see the In Memory site growing. In 1969, none of us even thought about dying.

Oh, My goodness Barbi,

You and I had a back and forth conversation on late June and July 1st. I looked forward to more "texts".

I remember Barbi from Girl Scouts. One time in 5th grade, I took our African overseas exchange student.  (from Nairobi, Kenya) to the Uselton house, and she taught the scouts how to say a few sentences in Swahili. Her English sounded British!! Some girls thought she went to Ravenswood. Barbi told them that Africans are very different from an American person of color. Joan Wairobi attended Paly for her senior year.

Rest in Peace, Barbi, and I will always remember you.

I remembered his name. I loved it!

My parents took us to Italy since they had met in Italy at the end of WWII.

Well, I disliked my Scandinavian and Dutch surnames. So I gave myself an Italian name after grade 7.

Maria Luisa (AKA Marisa) (the S has a Z sound between two vowels) Francesca, Paola, Tutti Santi, Caterina, di Lorenzini Scarinci.

Thanks to you Albert, Rest in Peace.

What a terrifying experience to go through. I am so glad to know you are safe.

Yours was a wonderal eulogy Ted. Thank you for catching us up with Steve's later years.

These sympathy notices are very profound and touching. I hope Debbie will read them all.

When I read 73 years old, I thought "so young"....and yet I know 73 is "getting up there" for us all.

Rest in Peace Stephen.

I had to laugh when you wrote "Never bred" !!! Made me think that I was horse who birthed three foals!! Hope you are well.
