Mom sent me this email in early April of 2005. I have to assume I emailed to ask her what Nana’s phone number was and this was her reply. At the time I thought it was odd that she signed it with “Mommy” because she almost always signed everything with “Mom”. I imagine I called […]
Here’s an email I found that mom sent to Sister Carol Mary Morrison, an old friend: From: Kathleen A. Gagne To: Sr. Carol Mary Morrison <cmmorrison@rinet36.org> Subject: So Glad You Wrote Sent: Nobember 21, 2004 Hi, Carol Mary, Gosh, it’s been a long time!

This is so sweet. While I was looking through my mom’s “sent items” in her Yahoo! mail account, I found an email she sent to Pat Dooley, the long-time sportswriter for the Gainesville Sun. The subject line is “Florida/FSU Editorial Cartoon”: Dear Mr. Dooley, A friend of mine just told me about the wonderful cartoon […]
An email mom wrote to her longtime friend and confidant, Sister Carol Mary Morrison: From: Gagne, Kathleen To: Sister Carol Mary Morrison Subject: Hello Again Sent: June 19, 2003 1:52 PM Hi, Carol, Maybe we should be email pals! All is well except that Jen is moving to Chicago in a week and David […]
I must have asked my mom for my grandmother’s mailing address, most likely because I wanted to send her a birthday card. She sent me this email: From: Gagne, Kathie To: Gagne, David Subject: Nana Sent: August 27, 2002 6:55 PM Nana is at: Peridot Place 252 Lake Forest Blvd. Room 142 Daytona Beach, […]
A year or two after I moved to Los Angeles, I started a company with a few other guys. We developed web sites for small businesses and at one point had hundreds of independent contractors working as copywriters for us. Mom was one of our best writers and I was very happy to help her […]
From: <me@kathiegagne.com> To: Gagne, David Subject: Jen Sent: May 24, 2002 9:20 PM David, It’s late and I’m tired. I stayed up to watch the Kings beat the crap out of the Lakers. All of a sudden, I caught five minutes of the news, and they were talking about the Memorial Day Weekend. I […]
From: Kathie Gagne <gagneka@sbac.edu> To: Gagne, David Subject: Nice Sent: May 24, 2002 5:16 AM David, It was pretty nice of you to call last night because you thought I would be lonely. I had just fallen asleep when you called, so I don’t remember what I said, but thanks. Jen called a little […]
I’ve owned my own domain name — davidgagne.net — and kathiegagne.com since the late 90s and I control the email addresses that work with them. I told mom that she could always just enter whatever she wanted and as long as she ended it with “@davidgagne.net” or “@kathiegagne.com”, the messages would get delivered to us. […]
On March 26th, 2002 I emailed my mom and dad a link to http://www.frontiernet.net/~cdm/age1.html. 1 My mom replied to me and said: David, That was SOOOOOOO cool! I looked at all of them and printed them out just because they were so cool! Makes you think – at least at my age…. I love you […]
