Debbie Reynolds and her daughter are buried where my mom is at Glendale Forest Lawn. Mom loves her friends around her, I am sure. Jay Ernest, a cousin, has blessed me recently with pictures and stories of my loved ones mostly in Albert Lee, Minnesota almost all gone now. I really did not have any pictures of many of these people so dear to my heart. They mostly are buried in the local cemetery there. My mom wanted to be on a hill overlooking LA and where she and I lived when I came out here as a teen. But my childhood was filled with all these loved ones in Minnesota. My grandma (my Mom's mom) and her sister, and others had lots of kids and I spent my childhood with these people. I have missed them for years. But they are really my family, we barely knew anyone on my grandpa's side; and I never really got to know my real Dad. Its a tiny world, but the stories are of strength and courage have always MADE MY DAY! We have grid! . And Im proud of all these people left. Jay and I both play music, and have our whole lives.
My mom is Doris, the picture is her headstone, I had the Boys that work at Forest Lawn, make her headstone all nice, she loved the men . . . .loved them all. I could just see her smiling as these MEN made her spot so pretty.
Anyway, I miss her often; but her death, and all these other loved ones deaths, help me help the animals, and be able to let them go to new families, or to God sometimes. Funny how the puzzle of our life one day just fits together. Dogs, deaths, funerals, all preparing my heart oh and some crazy relatives too, to take the dogs with emotional issues, to be okay to hand the baby to a new family; and most of all when one of our babies dies, I know he/she is fine and dancing with all my loved ones. Its okay. I always do everything I can to fix them believe me, but I also know God just sometimes really needs a new angel. To all my relative angels with God. Thank you for surrounding me, and Michael, always.
