Mike, Sandy and families,
I’m thinking of you at this belated time, as the absence of your mother becomes real in the everydayness of your lives. I remember Aunt Mary Alice as a beautiful, vibrant, humorous woman. Sitting on the floor by her vanity, watching her apply various cremes, and color was my favorite thing to do at her house. I thought she was the most glamorous person alive!! She would spout off words of wisdom (or just funnies) to me while I watched her. One of the funniest things she EVER said was “Marry a trucker, Honey! ‘Makes lots of money. . . never home!” She was so funny. I was amazed that she gave her chijuajua Pepto Bismol and thought she could hear that dog talk. Great memories at her house and with you kids. I thought Mike was a rock star and Sandy was a movie star to me, with her big teased hair, driving on Claremore’s backroads blaring “Won’t You Marry Me Bill” and singing at the top of her lungs! Even at that young age, I thought Aunt Mary Alice must have been the coolest Mom in the world.
