MARY LOVED A FUN TIME

Mom always enjoyed laughter and especially had fun with her siblings. It warms my heart to see her enjoying life-in-the moment in this picture which was taken in Tennessee,

MISS HER, MISS HER, MISS HER

She was always up for an outing no matter how she was feeling.  Wishing I could have another outing with Mom.

MOM ON ADAMS AVE 1970's

love her.... miss her.... our mom.

EVERYDAY LIFE

It happened to me again today...all of a sudden I stop in my tracks to re-realize that Mom isn't with us anymore. It's a strange, strange feeling and I always wish it wasn't so...but, I move on , as life moves on. Here was last night's sunset to remind us all of the awesomeness of God and the hope of heaven to come. Only God can make the sky look so beautiful.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO MOM in heaven

Mom, we miss you more each day. Reality of having to wait until heaven to see you next has really set in, at least for me.  I miss everything about you Mom, especially the love!

MOM'S FAVORITE CONSIGNMENT SHOP IN YEARS PAST

In her memory, we stopped in Peabody at Mom's favorite consignment shop in years past. We didn't buy anything but did see many things that Mom would have liked. Mom always loved fashion. One of her lifelong dreams was to open a boutique.

BRENDA LEE

Mom loved Brenda Lee and she loved to sing.  We listened to mom sing Brenda all through childhood.  She was a favorite but, Mom also sang Slim Whitman, Willie Nelson, Platters, Righteous Brothers, Patsy Cline and many, many more. Some times Mom sang all day around the house and she always gave it her all....great memories. Because of this, Denise and I learned all the songs , too. then, through the years, we would have a Brenda singalongs. Mom even introduced my niece, Cathrine, to Brenda's music and I'm pretty sure Cat can sing Brenda now, too! thanks Mom
