That she was. And, a breast cancer survivor on top of all else. All of 5'2". Tiny little woman. Tough as nails though. Guess the good lord felt it was time to make room for her next great granddaughter. Mom's understudy arrives in April.

Default Memories

I lost my mom to Alzheimer's two years ago. It's not easy losing your mom.

It is a great comfort as the years go by to have the memories we have. I sounds like you have many.

Enjoy them and share them with the younger family members.

God bless,

Bob K.

My very deepest condolensces - NOTHING cuts as deep as where you're at now.

Just think of ALL the WONDERFUL changes in everything your mum witnessed during those MANY years!

She was very lucky and luckier still to have a son like you honouring her memory, long from now

May she rest in beautiful Peace.

Steve

I'm sorry for your loss. She's in a great place now. Year and half ago we lost my father, a true Corvette enthusiast. Memories of so many car shows and than multitude of different vettes they owned. He loved surprising my mom with different vettes.
Forever will miss him but know he's in a better place
