In memory of Loree [Allen] Timlin who would have been  95 years old today, March 6, 2021. 

As always, I cannot imagine her at that age, 95. Unfortunately for us all, her son, my younger brother, is now with her and Paul, my father,   I am the only one left on earth of our small original family of four. Dan passed away July 25, 2020.

It is with mixed emotions I post this salute to the beloved mother of our small family. Mom I'm so sorry when and if  let you down at times. Hopefully you would be proud of me today.  All three of our deceased family members are sorely missed by those who are still here who knew and loved them dearly. I will carry on a changed man in many ways. Often you ask yourself, even in fairly good health, even wanting to carry on, why was I chosen to be the last one left? And think..."it's not fair"....like being an abandoned child. For them, if not me, mom,  please watch over your grandchildren whom you never knew here on earth, Nathan and Michaela, keep them on a safe path as they make the unknown journey through their lives. I won't be here long enough or strong/cognitive enough to guide them after a certain point if they ever actually need me.
