Remembering Mom - It's Been Four Years

Four years ago today, I lost my mother, Geraldine Margaret Guokas Pape, to the effects of nonfluent/agrammatic primary progressive aphasia, a form of fronto-temporal degeneration, at age 91.  I still miss her.  This photo was taken May 28, 2016, at a high school graduation party in Austin, Texas, for her youngest grandson.

Remembering Dad - It's Been Six Years

Six years ago, my father, Frederick Henry Pape, died rather suddenly at age 88.  I still can't believe it's been that long, and I still miss him.  This photo was taken May 28, 2016, at a high school graduation party in Austin, Texas, for his youngest grandson.
