Hi everyone. Today's post is dedicated to my caring, compassionate, sweet Mom who passed away six days ago, just a few days shy of her 97th birthday. She was an amazing person, loved by all who knew her. She lived a very long life, dedicating it to her family (husband, three children, six grandchildren, and eight great-grandchildren). She was always willing to lend a hand to those in need. After retirement, Mom volunteered for over 15 years at Meals on Wheels and Grocery Shopping for Seniors, at a time when she herself, was a senior.
Mom spent a lot of time in her garden. It was her passion to grow flowers and she passed along her love of gardening to me. Nowadays, most of the flowers I tend are on my cards. Today is a tribute to her, with a pretty floral card, that I know she would have loved.
Below I'm sharing a few photos of my Mom; a portait taken when she was twenty, a photo of the two of us at a family dinner, and a birthday photo taken 10 years ago.
She was beautiful inside and out. I will miss her dearly.
