MARGARITA AGUIRRE 62

own, which was known as a fee appraiser. Forty-two years later I regret not working for a company or perhaps the County of San Mateo which would have guaranteed paid retirement. I fell in love with David Warren and lost him 8 years after our first conversation. I still miss him. I am fortunate to have a daughter and son-in-law that care about me. I moved out of my rental of 25 years in Daly City when they bought their home in Colma 4 years ago. At least I’m not alone. Oh, we Aguirre “grown-up” children still own the Shoreview home. My father’s last words to me were “please don’t ever sell our home because it could be a refuge” for others. I remember writing in my journals at night because it always helped me sleep and now hope to continue writing.
