They loved each other dearly. Sadly, he passed away about a year and a half ago. He would sing 50’s and 60’s love songs to her. They also went to neighborhood dances and danced in the living room.   Christmas and Thanksgiving were her favorite holidays. She loved to provide large meals for the family. Some of her favorite dishes were green bean casserole, hard boiled eggs, potato salad, spaghetti with meat sauce and meatloaf.   At age 50, she went back to college to try to get a nursing degree.
