It was December, 1989. She was about to go on a date with her love, Monty Potter. She was so excited to go but I insisted on taking this picture. After all, she was so beautiful and I wanted to keep it as a memory. She married Monty and had Loreal. They were happy living on Willow and Ashlan in Fresno, Ca. I never had to worry about her because Monty was so respectful and loving towards her. She told me that Monty was the love of her life and that every morning he would wake up and say to her, "What can I do today to make you happy." As years went by they grew apart and for reasons unknown to me, they split up. That did not make him stop loving her. He loved her until the very end of her life. He was there visiting her and kept close watch on Loreal. A month before she died she told me that she knew Loreal was going to be o.k. and she would have plenty of support from her dad. She worried about Mathew though and she also knew that Conner and Shane would be taken care of by Pat. I told her that I would love them and have my arms wide open if they ever came to see me. It was hard for her to face the fact that she was leaving her children. She loved them all so very much.
