Raymond called and asked Alberta for a date on Wednesday evening, July 2, 2008. She said yes, so he left to meet her at 5 p.m. that afternoon. They planned to go for a walk on the streets of gold and then go to have dinner at the banquet table. They were having such a great time, that he's not going to come back here -he said that he would just wait with mom for all of us to soon come join them.
