I think this is the most perfect picture that shows Mom's personality. She loved her chunky jewelry and always had her glasses sitting on her head (and could never find them).
Sadly, Mom unexpectedly passed away on 9 Sept 2010 due to complications from her treatment in her fight against breast cancer. She was an amazing woman who always found something positive in everything she did. She even considered this bought with cancer as an inconvenience. She was the best mom, and an even better grandmother. She loved life and all it had to offer (good bad or ugly). Where do I begin? There is so much to share. All I know is that I am blessed to have been able to come home and live with Mom for a couple of months and that my boys had the opportunity to know what fun she was and how much she loved them. I am grateful for the family that I have and the love and support that they have shown to me and my sister and our families during this time. I know that through our Heavenly Father's plan, this separation is temporary, and that we have been blessed to be an eternal family and we WILL see her again. I know that she is whole and without pain and is surrounded by her parents and her brother that went before her.
She will be missed.
Wonderful tribute Mary Ellen. It was great to see you guys, glad you made it safely home. She was a wonderful woman, I have many fond memories of times spent with her.
ReplyDeleteYou have once again made me cry. She was such a strong woman that our generation has alot to live up to with her. I go to call her a million times and I know that she enjoyed her last yr more than she thought she had a right to. You will always have this wonderful angel watching over your children and that is her blessing to you.love ya AMY
