My Mom's Memorial

Up above on the left is a picture of my mom back in 1951 when she was 34 yrs. old and just 5 yrs. before she had me, the picture on top on the right side was mom and I at Christmas when I was 3 yrs. old.

The middle picture on the left side is of what I think heaven looks like, the middle picture on the right is called the "Stairway to Heaven" in which I believe that God took my mom by the hand and said "Come and visit me for a while"

She was born in Omaha, Nebraska on April 16, 1917, her nickname was Dolly because when she was born she was so small and cute she looked just like a doll. So from then on my Aunt always called her Dolly. She lived with her Stepmother and Dad until she was 18 yrs. old. Until she was 18 she had worked picking cotton for a while and then worked in a Cannery packing tuna, she also worked for George Pernicano for a while doing ironing for him. She has lived in Pacific Beach on Hornblend for a while, where she met and got married to William E. Lowrie, where she had my brother William and my sister Patricia. Then got a divorice from William Lowrie Sr. Then met my dad George A. Schlehofer and had me, Then moved to Moore St. until I was 4 yrs. old, and then my mom got a divorice from my dad, and that's when we moved into a little duplex in Five Points, where she met my Stepfather Richard Lyle Johnson, fell in love and married when I was 5 yrs. old, and then moved into a house in Clairemont at 3838 Onate St. We lived there for quite some time, I think until I was like 11 yrs old. Then they sold the house and bought a Mobile Home and moved to Spring Vally at the Lamplighter Village in space 234 when I was 11 yrs. old and lived there until the first half of 15 yrs.old then sold our Mobile Home and then moved to Old Town on San Diego Ave. at the Casa Manor Apartments (which now no longer exists), and that's where my Stepfather took off in his car to visit his parents. and got killed and a car accident in Winterhaven on the way to Kansas City, MO. where his parents lived, and due to drunk driving he went over the center isle ramp and got thrown out of the car as he rolled it, needless to say my mom was devistated when she got the news about what happend to her husband and almost had a nervous breakdown over it, then we moved out when I was 16, and moved to Clairemont in San Diego and there we lived together til I moved out and moved in with Douglas P. Copley in which I was very much in love with. and almost had a baby with him until I had a miscarriage in my third month of pregnancy in which my mom was by my side every moment of my miscarriage. She was always a very supportive mom in all circumstances
I wanted to post this in Memory of my mom, I'm doing it in purple because that was one of her favorite colors. She passed away on Oct. 1, 2005. She was living at a nursing home in Rancho Bernardo and unfortunitely she had Alzheimers Disease before she passed away. She was 88 My mom and I were really close. We've had many fun times together like going out dancing every Saturday night. And doing jigsaw puzzles, paint by number pictures and other things. She was a very good mom and everyone loved her. I remember when I was around 7 or 8 yrs. old all my friends used to call her mom also. She had a very good sense of humor and very good natured, I guess I inherited alot of her traits. She used to work for George Pernacano along time ago before she even had me. I remember she used to get dressed up just to go to the grocery store even.
