To My Love: Farris L. Glover, Sr.
I was the Senior Intake Counselor, when we first met at Turning Point Inc., in 1992. You were Lead LACD (License Alcohol Chemical Dependency) Counselor working at UBS “United behavioral Services” in downtown Minneapolis. When I entered my office, you and Lance Grisby were laughing and having a good old time. Then all of a sudden it got quiet. Our eyes locked and I knew I had you. It’s that Price/Winston/Gresham thing the women have in our family. You said to Lance, “Who is this pretty woman.” Lance said, “Oh that’s just Marguerite.” You asked me to walk you out after you completed your update for a Rule 25 on one of your clients. I said yes. As we were walking to the back exit, you requested to have lunch with me, and of course I said yes. The big problem I had was that I too felt the Price/Winston/Gresham thing and I knew I was going to fall in love with you. During our time together, you introduced me to Mystic Lake Casino and we had a wonderful time, but I told you there would only be a six month window to date me. You said, “I’m going to beat those six months.” Yet, a few months later we went our
separate way. In March of 1995, I saw you at one of those community network shows informing the community about your new program. With the love and support of one of your best friends, Kevin Pomeroy, and the owner of GT Auto Parts, George Toy, My Home LLC, opened its doors on March 5, 1995. On December 5, 1995, I received a call. My sister, Diane said you left a message for me to call you. I told my sister if you called back to tell you your six months were up. The next time you called, I answered the telephone and the rest is our love story. We travelled the world, celebrated many happy holidays, birthdays, and a lot of deaths. We loved watching and laughing at Larry David’s, “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and eating at new and different restaurants. We built a wonderful Black/African-American, community-based treatment program. May 10,, 2022, we would have celebrated our 25th wedding day. Wow, we almost made it. I love you and miss you with all of my heart. Your Loving Wife, Marguerite
