Gaye Besnoy:  

Life I've been living in San Diego since 1982. We have 3 daughters and 5 grandchildren. I retired in February 1999 and my husband retired in 2004. We are enjoying our leisure time, doing some traveling and spending time with the grandchildren. I also volunteer in the gift shop of the hospital where I worked for 15 yrs. It is fun now to go to "work". Life is good! Update: 10/2015 - My husband passed away in July 2012, just two months after a diagnosis of an uncommon disease that is very difficult to diagnose; amyloidosis. By the time he was diagnosed the disease had compromised his heart, liver and kidneys. His life would have been terribly bleak had he lived and the doctors told me it was a blessing that he went as quickly as he did. I'm getting accustomed to my new normal, still volunteering at the hospital gift shop and have even done some traveling. I've always looked at the glass being 1/2 full and that has helped me in my journey.
