I have so many warm thoughts and memories of long ago, dating back to the house in Painesville, Ohio, where I spent fond times with Mary, Kathy, and Peggy.. I recall one instance of riding in a car operating on gas fumes as my Uncle coasted downhill on the way to the gas station. I recall family reunions and holidays with with the Grandparents Loyer and with all my Loyer cousins and some of my Healy relatives were there as well. I recall holidays in Cleveland with the Boisseaus that included the families of two youngest Loyer brothers, their Boisseau (Healy) wives. I recall a children's table in the living room.. Of course there were visits to Saint Louis, where Mary, Kathy, Peggy and I hung out for hours. I recall Uncle Ray driving both our families on sightseeing tours of the local area, where his foot was a little heavy on the brake and accelerator and I am only slightly exaggerating of my first introduction to a G force. I recall my Uncle throwing me in the air and catching me, spinning me around, and hugs on many occasions.Then we moved to Florida and grew into separate lives, but I feel gratitude that we all came from such loving families, and retain much good will.
