Anthony- First my condolences on your loss. But if it is any consolation, your mother had the…Read More satisfaction of knowing that she raised a great son who turned out be a contributor to his community and constituents. No one will ever be able to take away the happy memories you had together in her time on earth.

Once upon a time, when my mother-in-law was visiting from Detroit Michigan, she told my children and…Read More I a story about visiting her own mother in a nursing home. Marion said, her mother would often say, "If i am not here when you get back, you know that I am gone". When hearing that phrase, I was sad. Marion said "Don't be". Memories and people that touch are lives never fade but remain strong in our hearts. Marion often joked that if I wasn't there when she got back, either I was out shopping or at a Casino. We would laugh and use that phrase to be humorous. Well unfortunately , my mother-in-law passed away 9/30/2010 (twenty years to the exact date of my own mother's death. So immediately, I thought of the phrase from long ago. Well just writing to you is a sign of love and grace that is past down from one generation to the next. People that come into our lives, do leave but not without leaving something for us to remember. So, Anthony, "if I'm not here when you get back...,I'm at Soboba Casino "

Anthony,
I am so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I know you left your Asembly seat in order…Read More to care for her and spend some of the quality time you had left with her. That's what Italian sons do! Having an elderly Italian mother myself I know how important they are to the family. At 82 my mother still treats me as her favorite son (that is as long as the other two aren't around), and sometimes, no matter how old we get, we still get treated as a snot-nozed kid. That's what makes them so special. Joan and I wish you all the best, along with our thoughts and prayers. RIP Barbara.

I never met her, but I knew her wonderful youngest son, Bill. What an amazing woman! She really…Read More lived a good life.
Lynda Ott Albright January 25, 2013 at 03:54 pm
Bill, she was an amazing woman, to say the least! And you're so right - NOTHING happens by…Read More coincidence...I find it so appropriate that she was met by her husband, probably flowers in hand, to welcome her into Heaven! And you KNOW Robert was there to give her a hug as well!

One of our family treasures. My daughter, Molly, was unimpressed, however, and did a great…Read More impersonation of his "Hah, Ahm Hoowell Howser, etc."
which in turn became a special memory for me. We promise ourselves to visit at least one of his special places.

Got the pleasure of meeting Huell at a UC Davis fund raiser. He was very nice and so funny. We have…Read More a picture we took with him and also he signed a t-shirt we have framed. Almost all our trips are because of him. He helped us learn and love California. RIP Huell.

My sister stumbled on Fiona's five or six years ago just before Halloween. I was living in…Read More Portland, OR at the time and my sister mailed tea towels in a bag that Fiona had decorated with a hand drawn pumpkin! I moved to Ventura about three years ago and had the pleasure of meeting Fiona and visiting the shop quite often. A note which I received from her late last summer said she already was getting the shop in order for autumn and Halloween as she so loved pumpkins. Fiona's was magical and to have been in the presence of Fiona herself has blessed and enriched my life.

I lived in the Glendale/Montrose/La Canada/Shadow Hills areas until 2005 and then moved to Dallas,…Read More TX. I discovered Fiona's way back in the 70's and stopped by off and on over the years both in Glendale and later up in Montrose. I have many objects in my house from her store, and wonderful memories of her and positive, inspiring attitude. Our last visit to the area was in 2009 and she was as cheerful as ever and asked me to keep in touch.....this year in response to my Christmas card her son sent a note telling me of her passing. She will be missed!

My mom and I spent many hours prowling around her store during my childhood. It always struck me as…Read More being someplace magical, and she was like a fairy godmother. And the complimentary cider and butter cookies were more delicious there than anywhere else in the world. She and the store will always live on in my memory and heart.

Very sad. My condolences to the family. I think about the time I nearly lost my life on that road…Read More 25 years ago, when I was in my 20's. Came around a corner and found 3 cafe racers racing. 2 of them in the wrong lane approaching head on. I swerved and lost control and went over the side about 150 ft. Car (85 Honda CRX) stayed right side up and I walked away un harmed. The next day I had to hire a crane to get my car out and the driver told me some horrific stories of what he'd witnessed on that road. A very dangerous road, especially on the weekend.

Very moving and emotional service. If Drew only knew how many people cared about him, his family and…Read More his community. Important words spoken by Mr Leone towards the end of the service stating how important it is we take care of one another in our beautiful Crescenta Valley. I for one have been moved, even changed by this event. I am guessing it would bring much comfort to the Ferraro family for good things to come from this tragedy like tolerance and forgiveness towards each other.
Dale Frey January 3, 2012 at 07:52 pm
Thats a lot of kids to take care of now and the state will need to help on this one.

Hi Landa, thank you so much for sharing your memories of Coach Berry. Do you think that many people…Read More had these kind of experiences with him? I hear stories like these from many of his players.
Landa Jensen November 15, 2011 at 04:46 am
I am so fortunate to have played for Mr. Berry. I first played on his travel team for CSA (not yet…Read More Condors) the summer after 7th grade. I think that would have been 1981? I, thankfully, went on to play for him until I graduated from CV in 1986. Having been part of that CIF championship team still is one of the best experiences of my life!. He was so much more than a coach, He was a loving, father figure that knew just how to get the best out of each of us. My dearest friends to this day are those I played with under him and we get together annually. A big part of our reunion became calling Mr. Berry. This past January he was on the phone for over 3 hours taking turns talking to each of us. When the phone was finally handed back to his daughter, Jenny, he was still not wanting to hang-up. I loved Mr. Berry so much and I am so thankful God chose to bless my life by having him in it!!!
Lynn Newcomb (or Hrnciar!) May 31, 2012 at 12:13 am
I was trying to find my own 'blogger' site by searching on Google for my name...Lynn Newcomb! I was…Read More confused at first thinking other people were using my name andd site. But then after taking a closer look I was excited to find an entire listing of 'other' 'Lynn Newcomb's' So I am hoping we can become friends...those of us who share the name and those who are related or know us. I read the story on Lynn Newcomb Sr. and his many contributions. It is a great story. I hope to hear from anyone who wants to make this connection with me. Who knows,we may even be related! I live in Las Vegas...
