"Remember" by Christina Rossetti.
 

Christina Rossetti - Remember' - poem - YouTube

I often think of many of the late TOTV members like Donna, ZCaveman, and others.

Whom do you remember???

I remember my mom, who passed away 19 years ago. I remember my friend, Carmen, who has been gone for almost 9 years now. And I remember my friend and fellow choir member, Tim, who passed away way too early 3 years ago this month. I believe all are in a better place.

We lost my younger brother Chuck in December 2014 and my brother-in-law Jim that September of 2014. Hard year especially for my older brother Robert. Chuck had a very long term drinking problem lasting from 1998 or so until his death. At least, he is no longer haunted by the demons of always wanting another drink. Jim became more and more mentally ill until he shot himself in a rural area of VA with his beloved high powered rapid fire pistols.

Some people you can help others just latch onto whatever obsession they have.

Chuck was a lot of help with my 224 613 Project as he also had Mrs. Barbara Mitchell at Earl Wooster High School in Reno, Nevada but about four years after I did around 1980. He also lived in Reno up until 1990 or so after I left in late Spring of 1983 only to come back to help my parents move to Scottsdale, AZ in the Summer of 1984.

Muncle and Islandgal come to mind for TOTV. I believe I met both of these people at Crisper's lunches.

I do plan to come to one of these at some point again.

One of Muncle's good posts.

Many Doggie Doo Run Run members have passed during the nine years I have been going there. Really miss some of them quite a bit. And that includes the people.

I miss seeing Chris at DDRR with her two Italian greyhounds. I'm glad her partner still takes them.
And of course Semper Fi's mom.
I miss Donna and Muncle and Islandgirl from TOTV. All very good people who enjoyed this website a lot!

We have lost a lot of good people at Doggie Doo Run Run. Still miss Ben with Gypsy. One of the sweetest pit bull mixes I have ever run across next to Jade.

Bob Buckland, Bill Davis are some others from DDRR who have passed.
