A Tribute To Mom

My Mom left us just a few short weeks ago and joined my Dad in Heaven...so I thought I would dedicate this Mother's Day Blog  in her memory...
You can see that our Mom had determination and style - even at a young age.  (I have that same walk...people I work with call it my "power walk".  )

Mom always had a sense of adventure. I can remember one time when she went deer-hunting with Dad.

Mom always  had a sense of humor and loved to make people smile and laugh.  She passed that on to me. (I feel my day is not complete unless I make someone else smile.)


Mom lived for her ever-growing family. She always seemed to be in her element when there was family around her.


Mom loved her siblings. She called and talked to each of them all the time. The physical distance did not keep them apart.

 ...But there is one thing she loved more than anything  else - Our Dad.  I am at peace knowing she is now with Dad.
  
I love and miss you Mom.  You have taught me so much during "your dash" ... you will be with me forever in my heart.

What a lovely tribute to your mother--and to your dad!
I love that last picture: your father looks content and proud and your mother is just beaming.

A beautiful portrait and a wonderful legacy :)

God bless,

Cat
