  • Happy Birthday, Mom

    Today, November 30, is Mom's 84th birthday.

    Her life's adventure began in Graham, Texas in 1924. Her Dad was a master carpenter; her Mom was a housewife. Her family moved to Dallas in time for her to start school. She graduated Sunset High School in Dallas. During her high school years, she met Howard Busby at Bethel Temple AOG. (Howard attended Woodrow Wilson HS.) They married on March 11, 1945 at Bethel Temple, with the reception following at the home of the 

       groom's parents. Howard was an Ensign, Supply Corps, USNR. Their adventure together included living in Cleveland OH, Boston MA, and Dallas TX. They had two sons, Gerald (me) and my brother Douglas who lives with his wife and descendants in Redding CA.Mom and Dad remained together until Dad's death on May 5, 2001. She joined him on Mar 12, 2007. They remained in love and adventuresome their entire life together, with a second home in Santa Fe NM, and some kind of day trip in the Northeast Texas area every Sunday. They are interred in the DFW National Cemetery.

    I love them both, and miss them very much.
