I met Marsh in Guymon, OK in what must have been 1967 or 68, our freshman year of high school. We were probably 14 or 15. I don’t remember the first time we met, but I do remember she was pretty and smart and had a great sense of humor. He friend Debbie and my friend Lan were seeing each other so we hung out a lot together. I remember cruising Main Street from one end to the other in my 1961 Chevy Bel-air with Marsha riding shotgun and Debbie and Lan in the back seat, with the radio cranked up listening to KOMA radio station. We would go from the Ideal food parking lot to the Arrowhead drive in and back, over and over and over, all night, waving to friends as we passed them, all doing the same thing. That summer was the proverbial “summer of love”. The age of Aquarius, Flower Power, hippies, and some of the best music ever written and recorded. So it came to pass that around February 1969, Marsha told me she was pregnant. Kelli was born in the fall of 1969 in Guymon Memorial hospital. She was and still is a beautiful child. Thank you, Marsha, for the wonderful memories. But most of all, thank you for a lovely daughter. May you Rest in Peace.

My mother and I shared many things together, but above all else, we loved to laugh with each other. We could find humor in the most mundane things or at the most inopportune times.
Mom taught me to love myself. She was an incredibly strong woman who told me that we are the only ones who can make ourselves happy. She used to tell me that whether we believe we can do something or not, we are right. I frequently choose and tackle difficult things because of that lesson.
I have never not felt loved because of my mother. And that is the greatest gift she could ever give me.
I love you, Momma. Thank you for the gift of love, life, and happiness.
