"Hello" my Dear aw.org Friends, I just wanted to let you know that my Aunt Kay Passed-Away on Saturday, November 24, 2007 in the Mid-Morning. We had a wonderful Birthday Celebration back in April, for her 90th Birthday.

She was the "Last Link" to our Families, as far as immediate Realatives of both of my Brother and my Parent's sides of the Families.

My Mother's side of the Family was 3-Sisters and my Mother was the youngest of their Family. My Father's side was 1-Brother and 2-Sisters and my Father was next to the youngest and my Aunt Kay was the youngest of their Family.

My Mother and Father made it to their 80th Birthdays, my Uncle {Dad's Brother} was 84-years old, my other Aunt {Dad's Sister} was 87-years old. My Mother's Older Sister was 87-years old and her Middle Sister was only 51-years old. She killed herself from Alcoholism and I was 13-years old, when she Passed-Away. I felt that I old enough to realize what Alcohol could do to you and your Body. Even though I do have to admit that when I was in my late 20's and early 30's I had at one time drank too much and a couple/few other times, I had a little too much to drink, but I never lost my memory during that time and I always knew what was happening around me and where I was at. I also am so glad that I wasn't a terrible nasty "Wanting to Pick a Fight" kind of Drinker, I've always been the type to feel and act Silly and having a Good Time. "BTW" I hardly ever touch any kind of Alcohol Beverages now, especially since they came out with the "Virgin" Drinks, I quite honestly don't even miss the Alcohol not being in them.

Anyway, thank you so very much for allowing me to write this to the Club Site, it means a great deal to me, to know that we are all here for each other, in our time of need.

Peace, Blessings, Prayers and Luv of Friendship, Steve

Remember this: She is in the hands of the Lord now. She can no longer experience pain or disease. May God be with you in this time of great sorrow.
Taken from Psalm 23: "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. In verdant pastures he gives me repose. Beside restful waters he leads me; He refreshes my soul."
 
Not easy to lose someone close to you...

I'm sorry to hear about your aunt. One by one, we lose our family members, and with them, our links to our family history.

My grandfather, John Watson, was an appliance mechanic with Sears in the 40s-early 60's. He shaped a lot of what I did in my early days, and although I was only 7 when he passed away, his spirit lives on. Some people who knew him well, and know me now, have said there is an uncanny resemblence in how we work.

My wife passed away March 14, 2004 at the age of 55. 35 years as a hairdresser - she had severe emphasema, although she never smoked. Years of exposure to the chemicals. Putting her own needs aside for those of her customers, even in the hospital she wouldn't eat on a regular basis.

She was a wonderful wife, the kind of a lady you wish everyone had. I miss her.

Re: Thank You:

One and all who have given me your support and kind words. I especially want to reach out to William "Huggybear" to express my Condolences to you, if even with this much time of your losses.

I also want to tell you that your Wife was a beautiful Woman. She looks like a Woman here in Sacramento, CA that I knew in the past, or know how, but at this time I'm not totally able to remember for sure who I'm thinking about.

You/we are all blessed with Family Members, no matter what, that will always live on in our Hearts.

Peace, Blessings, Prayers and to great Friends, Steve

I'm sorry about your loss. It's always so hard.
With time, this will heal if you allow it to.

Death is a normal process and the "ultimate goal" of life.
We were not born with anyone attached to us at the hip and we won't die that way either. It is therefore important to have a full life between birth and death as much as possible.

It is important to live in the present, an not give-up! Those who are so busy looking back forget to see the "here and now" and the goodness to come in the future.

Energy can not be created nor destroyed. therefore, LOVE never dies and you are still loved as the sprits of the departed continue to watch over you!

My sincerest wishes to you for a rapid and full healing!
 
Good Run

Steve,

Sorry about the loss of your Aunt Kay. 90 years is a good run, but I do understand the overwelming sadness that a loss like this can bring.

You will always keep her in your heart.

Re: Thank You Again:

For everyone who has written something back to me, during my trying times, after the Passing of my Aunt Kay. I'm doing somewhat better now, although in a couple Weeks, we will be having the Service and a Gathering afterwards at a local Traditional Restaurant, that we seem to congregate at, after Funerals. For those who do live in Sacramento, the Restaurant in Question, is the Espanol and for those who don't live in Sacramento and/or have never heard of the Restaurant, believe it or not, it is actually an Italian Restaurant, with a Spanish name. It is well established, of at least 65-years in operation and the location that it is at currently is it's 3rd home for the Restaurant.

In the early Days of the Espanol, my Mother's Family used to take the Northern Electric Train, from Woodland to Sacramento, to the Train Station in the Downtown area, which these Days with pretty good Traffic and Weather Conditions, is approx 20 to 30 minutes away by Car. They came over to have their Sunday Dinner at the Restaurant and then to return back home in Woodland. When our Parent's started taking us out for Dinner, the Espanol was at it's 2nd Location, that I believe was around actually not too far from the original Building area, next to the Train Station.

The Espanol Restaurant is now only approx 10 to 15 minutes from where I live now and the Food is just as great as it was when I was a Kid. They "BTW" have hardly ever changed their Menu, since the early Days of the Restaurant being opened.

Now, this brings up a question to everyone else. What is/was one of your Favorite Restaurant's to go to for great Food, when you were growing up? I'm not talking about "Fast-Food" either, but you can include a Buffet/Self-Serve type of Restaurant, as well as a sitting down, being served type of Restaurant.

I really appreciate everyone expressing their kind words to me, during this time of loss, it means a great deal to me, knowing that there is so many caring people here, to help others out, no matter what.

Peace, Blessing and to great Friends on the aw.org Club, Steve
