I absolutely will be signing Alberto's guest book, Valorie. I want to percolate on my thoughts and compose my words carefully, so my entry won't show up for a day or two. Love you, Carey
ReplyDeleteThe videos: It does my heart good to see the fine weather, smiles, dancing, jazz, and loads of friends & family on your front porch in honor of Alberto. Especially to see your dear self with violet locks and a bit of boogie. -Carey
ReplyDeletep.s. Bass players are so groovy.
Dear VV,
ReplyDeleteI have not read your blog in a couple of weeks, and am so shocked, and saddened, by the passing of your dear husband, Alberto. Reading your blog, I always looked forward to seeing you two holding each other in dance, and smiling, as if you had a very special secret, and weren't going to share it!
February is a rough month for many people, including myself. Both of my parents died in February, 10 years apart. My mom, from New Orleans, and my dad, from New Jersey. A North-South combination, different in so many ways, but they, like you and Alberto, "danced well together" and only one was the lead, at any given time.
My deepest condolences to you, and I admire your strength at this time, especially to post the details of his life, and the funeral. If I lived nearby, I would certainly stop by to just sit and listen, as this is the old-style Southern way, which sadly, in these days and times, is almost non-existent. May God send you dear friends to watch over you, and to comfort you.
Much love,
Margaret
I've just signed Alberto's guest book, Valorie. I apologize for the delay, but I struggled with trying to convey how much I care even though we've never met. The slide show photographs are fabulous, really. I so enjoyed seeing them. Love, Carey
ReplyDeleteWhat a great tribute to the family and the loved ones! Social media and the internet have amazing tools to honor those who have passed on! Thank you so much for sharing!
