I am embarrassed to say I do not know the day my mother died, it was 62 years ago. never thought to ask my dad. At least I know when he died.

So many things you realize you could and should have asked about.

There were many questions and remarks concerning my mother, that also went unasked. My sisters and I decided out of diplomacy, not to bring Mom up to our Dad unless he did first. This meant ignoring their Wedding Anniversary too, unless, again, he clearly wished to talk about it.

Boy do I hear ya! My Mom died when I was 20 after a long,painful demise.There are so many things I should have asked her but I was a clueless,immature kid.Thankfully my Dad had many great stories as did her younger cousin who saw my mom as being a big sister when she was a kid.I even have a recording of my Dad telling the story of how my Mom,when she was about 19,spilled soup on Queen Whilamena (? spelling) of the Netherlands when she was working as a waitress at The Cloisters in Sea Island,Georgia (her uncle,a manager at The Cloisters,got her the job).He'd laugh and say "she didn't last long there after that".

I'm lucky to have had two good,decent,admirable...and INCREDIBLE...parents.Far too many,sadly,can't make that claim.

Don’t mean to sound insensitive, but that information would be in the county records.

I can understand why it might not “be worth” knowing, but it t would be easy to find out.
