In Loving Memory Of PAULINE A. BRAISTED June 14, 1929 – July 2, 2002 Five years ago today we laid to rest our dear mother. I remember mom, we used to joke about how Tuesday was the useless day of the week. It wasn’t the beginning, it wasn’t the middle, it wasn’t the end, nor was it the weekend. On my birthday, Tuesday, June 26, 2002, as we were cutting my birthday cake, I remember jokingly telling you that at least this Tuesday wasn’t useless. Then you looked at me with a grin on your face and a look in your eyes I couldn’t describe at the time and you said to me “Pam, well, now it’s my turn to make Tuesday useful.” Little did I know that two weeks from my birthday on the morning of July 2, 2002, you would pass away. We all have our memories that we will cherish, and on the fourth of July every year, no matter what the day may be, we will look to the sky and as the fireworks begin, we will all be looking up at the same time for the grand finale, thinking of you and your freedom from pain. We love you and will cherish our memories forever. Love, your daughters, Pamela, Jennifer, Brenda and Linda; sons, Bobby, Ronald, John and Brian; and all your grandchildren and great-grandchildren In Loving Memory Of My wife, lover and friend PAULINE A. BRAISTED I remember when you couldn’t sleep and at 2 a.m. in the morning, you would say, “Father, would you turn on the ham radio,” and as I was talking around the world, I would glance over and see you peacefully sleeping. After 55 years of marriage and missing you so, I want to thank you, for there isn’t enough room in this paper to list the memories that I will always hold dear of you. Till we meet again, this is K1HLG signing off. Rest in peace, my dear wife. Love your husband, Bill “K1HLG”
PAULINE A. BRAISTED
