    Raise a toast, to a Great ole GAL

    My Mother passed away today about 10:30 a.m. this morning. She was a Rockette at the Baltimore Sways Station as she called it with about 30 other gals entertaining the troops from WW2, Dad was a fighter Pilot in the Pineapple Air Corp. flyng P-47s and P38s in Okinawa on the bombing raids on Saipan and Japan in the war. Now they are finally dancin together again, Raise a toast whether it be beer or Pepsi cause now there together again dancin to Glenn and his orchestra

                      Lifting my coffee cup too, but it sounds like from your post there is some joy for a life lived to the fullest accompanying the sadness.
