I can still hear her lovely alto voice, singing, humming, songs that were dear to her. Now, in the process of writing a family history I looked up the lyrics and found this StoryCorps episode. How inspiring. I have listened to many of these stories but had missed this one. Thank you for this reminder of the beauty of simplicity, of love and memories.

After 30 years together though, I often know what he would say at any particular moment. My head is full of his marvelous come backs, and one liners.
