Mom~ it has been almost a year and I miss you deeply. You were my world and I can't even begin to tell you how hard this year has been. So many things remind me of you, It's a beautiful day out today and the smell of fall is here. It reminds me of some of the last good days we spent together at the nursing home. I loved taking you out in the wheelchair and just sitting there talking to you and looking at your beautiful smile and you telling me how much you loved me. I will see you someday love you deeply mom and miss you horribly. Hugs and kisses mom!

Martha, Diane, Nancy & Richard I know it's very difficult to lose your mom, she had a rough go at the end but I believe she is at peace now. Your mom will still continue to be your mom even though she won't be with you. After 42 years of having her as my mother in law there will be a void in my life too. But we are family and will remain family. If in your life you expected to be left with rich's than your mom did just that by loving you, that's the greatest thing she left behind for you.
