Remembering Mom ...

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.
