Mom/Mama/Yvette/Nanny/Roberto's Mom

These are the many aliases my Mother was known as. She passed away yesterday morning after another long battle with cancer. A fighter till the end. She was my biggest fan. Supporting my music career since I was a child. There when I needed her to take care of me. One of those very important moments was when I suffered a very serious accident in the 70's that almost ended my musical career. It was her insistence and inspiration for me to fight that returned me to my music after two years of convalescence.

Those of you who knew her will remember her spunkiness and happy way of looking at life. Helping me with the door at Steppin Out gave her the opportunity to enjoy my music and my friends for many years. "I will miss her!"

Our family is planning a memorial for her on Thursday of next week, the 26th, at the Catholic Church of Mt. Carmel in Newport News at 7 PM. If you're interested in going e mail me for directions. After the memorial I will have a reception at my house to celebrate her life. RSVP.

May She Rest In Peace,

ROBERTO

Nanny, my mom, is gone

This morning, 6/18/03, at 10:20 my mom passed away.

She went to join all her loved ones that had gone before her.

I had been at the nursing home, day and night, since Friday when she had a stroke and it was evident that she was not going to beat cancer for a 4th time.

She was not kept alive through any outside means, which was her advance directive signed a few months ago. We only had her on oxygen and morphine to keep her comfortable and without pain, as were her wishes. She continued to fight until the end, and it was the opinion of the nursing home chaplain, that sometimes people get so used to fighting for their health all their lives, that when the time comes to let go, their body has no idea how to do that...this was the only explanation as to how she could have lived from Friday to today, Wednesday.

We are having a memorial for her on the 26th, at Our Lady of Mt Carmel (still waiting for the priest to call me to finalize this), and later we are having a party to celebrate her life at my brother's house, as she requested.

It's been a rough week, but she is now at peace and no longer suffering.

Love to all,

Leonor (Lee) Henriquez Guy

Newport News, VA

We are always looking for ways to make Two Step Tidewater Virginia THE PLACE for dance information in the South East Virginia or North East North Carolina beaches areas (Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Suffolk, Portsmouth, Newport News, Hampton Roads, Yorktown, Gloucester, Williamsburg, Hickory, and the beaches and outer banks of North Carolina (NC)) - and for other dance events or dance locations which are of interest to Tidewater area dancers. We prefer to exchange links with other dance-information sites. To add a dance link, or exchange links with your web pages, email Will Harper or Walter Schultz. Worthy dance events, may post to our web site by emailing a cut-and-paste ready announcement. Your announcement can be just a text announcement or even a full web page. We will host an ongoing web page, at no cost, for Tidewater Area dance-related activities, without their own web page. Be sure to include date, time, cost, contact and location information for your event. In exchange, we ask that anyone posting to our site, include a reference to www.twosteptidewater.com on your site and/or in your intra-group's mailing list emails. (Not just C&W. We'll include Ballroom, Swing, WCS, Disco, Folk, or just churches or other clubs with dances.) We will attempt to post/remove events within a couple of days - but we cannot accept responsibility for missing an event or any other reason. We will attempt to verify ALL links, to prevent any offensive or off-topic links, but, again, cannot be responsible for other's.
