To those of you who remember my parents:
Mary Ann Morton passed away December 8th at the age of 89. She is survived by her daughter, Twinkle Ann Morton, and her daughter-in-law Joan Mariner, as well as her nieces, Nina Marie Bollman Johnson [Bevin] and Debra Paronto Lyons [Tom], and her nephews Bill Bollman and Dennis Paronto [Robbie McCoy]. Her grandchildren and great grandchildren gave her great happiness in her waning years.
My Valley West Health Care Family does the toughest things I have ever seen, and they make a huge difference in the lives of our too often forgotten elderly. They do it with such ease and compassion. They filled my mother’s last year with love, and I will be forever grateful.
Signature Hospice gave both my mother and I much peace in the ending months. My gratitude extends to all who made this passage easier especially my daughter Kaseja who supported and guided me not only as a member of hospice who knows the sequence, but most of all as a caring supportive spirit. I am grateful to all of you.
To my life partner, Joan, my love and appreciation for the support and acceptance of the path I follow as an only child who is grateful for all the gifts my parents built into my being.
My mother joins my father, her husband of 50 years, who passed away in June of 1997. She was never whole after his death. I gain peace in hoping they are joined again in some way and have become one again. Her wish is to be cremated. There will be a Celebration of both of their lives next summer. Contributions in lieu of flowers can be made to Greenhill Humane Society. Her love of animals lives on forever in me and in others.

A letter to a ‘lost’ friend
I am writing this open letter to all my former classmates in hopes of making contact with someone I lost in 1968. As I wrote earlier, I was told in 2012 that my melanoma odds were five years to live- max. During those hours and days of reflection, I had time to see many things. I had a great childhood and wonderful friends in public school, college, and professional life. I walked a different path than many but strove even then to do no harm. Did I make mistakes? Of course. Do I have regrets? Not many. One of them is losing a dear friend over a misinterpreted comment I made so long ago. Thankfully, my cancer appears to be in remission, but as the doctors love to say, one can only be proactive with melanoma as it can spring up anytime and anywhere. So, with this added time, I would love the chance to explain to her how I remember it- not how someone else may have interpreted it to her.
My friend is Sandra Lazetich. I have tried in every way to find a way to get ahold of her. Her married name is Wattula as you see on our website, and I hoped that she would sign in so I might have the chance to at least write to her and express my regret. At first I was angry that she would believe someone else that I would ever be malicious- but time has mellowed me on that, and I would just like the chance to share my perspective on that seemingly small event that made such a huge change in my life. So if anyone knows where she is or how to get in touch with her, please let her know I would love to have that chance. My email is tamorton@uoregon.edu. I will hopefully be able to address this regret and help her see that losing her friendship was a difficult thing. Thanks
Twinkle

Always a man of few words.. see that has not changed!!! Hope to see you in September.
I started third grade at Broadwater and remember spending time playing sports with David, Gary, Jim, Ed, and Bill through the years of grade school Then we moved on to junior high and high school where it was no longer cool for us to "play" together. But David remained steady and friendly - I am sorry to read about his death- I thought of him through the years as one very good guy!

Pictures are of our dogs Gracie and Stormy... and of the two of us- this pic of me is during my infusions with quite a loss of hair... glad to report- it has come back very nicely... it is true- white women don't always have attractive skulls.... :0)
