It Must Have Been One Hell of a Starry Night

On a starry night in the spring of 1954, a dashing young doctor met a beautiful young nurse in the Skyway at the Peabody Hotel in Memphis, and they danced. In November of 1954, they married, and through house fires, tornados, and three children, and a multitude of adventures, they laughed and loved, and lived a very good life. Saturday nights always ment steak. In the late 60's, Birthdays ment a trip to Shakey's Pizza. Saturday afternoons in the fall revolved around Ole Miss Football.

Sadly, the dance ended far too soon in November of 2000, when the now aged doctor went to his reward. The nurse spent the next 10 years shamelessly spoiling dogs and grandchildren. Miss Lady, a land shark masquerading as a poodle, frequently enjoyed breakfasts of scrambled eggs and sausage. Sleepovers at Nana's often found 6 kids in matching pajamas in front of the television set watching 'The Sound of Music'.

Saturday morning, two weeks ago, the nurse and the doctor danced again. We all will miss her, but she always loved to dance with the dashing young doctor.
