This is a picture of my husband,
Tommy and me at Oak Creek Canyon in Sedona, AZ.
That was the BEST day of my life. Later that night,
Tommy asked me to marry him. We love Sedona so much that we were
married there.

We're one of those newly fashionable couples...
You know, Older woman, Younger man.... He is almost 14 years younger than me,
but our age difference has never been a problem in our relationship.

When I met Tommy, he was a bartender at
the "Black Angus".
We were introduced by a mutual friend.
I was 38 and he was 24.
I had been having the time of my life and had NO intention of
falling in love again, especially with a younger man!
I used to stop in at "The Angus" late in the evening when he was working
and I'd stay to help him close up.
One night he put on a new tape of his favorite local band "FLYER".
I couldn't believe it! They were my favorite too!
We talked and talked for hours, night after night as Flyer's music
played in the background and we fell in love.......

The one thing that made me sure that he really did love me was this:
I was scheduled to perform on T.V. in the All California Karaoke Contest.
I had put a beautiful dress on hold at the store, but two days before the show
I lost my job and couldn't afford to buy it.
I told him I had nothing to wear and I wasn't going to be able to go to the
contest.
He told me not to worry. The day of the taping he took me up to L.A.,
dropped me off at the studio (still with nothing to wear)
and he said not to worry, he'd be back before the show and everything would be okay.
About 45 minutes before we were to begin, he walked into my dressing room
with balloons, flowers, a bottle of Tequila (medicinal purposes only)
AND
the dress I had put on hold, all the undergarments to go with it,
shoes, 2 sets of jewelry so I had a choice
and Rhinestone combs for my hair.

All he said was, "Knock 'em dead!"
And I DID !

These are pics of my daughter Bekki and me
singing together.
The first one is when she was 5 1/2.
The other one is when she was 16!



This is my son, Damien.
He is a totally awesome guy. Very intelligent and very talented in many ways.
He lives in California and I miss him ALOT!

The following is from a letter that my Father wrote
for my Mother to celebrate Valentine's Day.
It was during World War 2 (1944 I believe) and he was stationed somewhere in India.


My Love for you is liken to the Sun.
It is the warmth and the light of the world in which I live.
It rises within my heart at the start of each day,
and by the light of my love, I find guidance....
The path before me is plain to see.


At night, in sleep, my face is like the Moon,
the light of my love reflected in my smile.
Each night and day, all of this...
just like the cycle set by God
and adhered to by all his children,
of which, I, by having you,
am one of his chosen.

As the Sun is an undeniable symbol of a Supreme Being
who gives hope to the people of the world for their salvation,
So is my love for you.
Our Love is the symbol of our happiness and contentment
in our world together.

Sweet Love of mine!
My heart, my soul, my life...all for you alone.
In this life and beyond, changing never,
nor ever held lightly in word, thought or action.

The pain I feel when I am without you,
Is an ever constant reminder in my heart of
the wonderous Joy that is to be mine
when once again we are together.
until that time, I send you my heart....


Your loving husband,

Dea



They had a long and loving Marriage until my Dad passed after 43 years together.





I'd like to tell you about my "Twin Soul" Cindy.

Cindy and I are so "connected" that
sometimes it scares us and the people who know us.
She lives in Oregon.
