My Mother is the most amazing woman I know! I wish I had appreciated her more when I was a teenager. My father died when I was 14. She still had 5 of her 8 children at home to support. A widow at 54, she went to work after being a stay at home mom all those years. She worked til she was 72 and then learned the spanish language so she could go on TWO proselyting missions. Her companions were half her age! This is how good she is. She apologizes to ME for not being a better mother! Now that is funny!
This is Mom on her 90th (yes 90th) birthday. She is a twin and we celebrated their birthdays at Hawley Lake last summer. Isn't she beautiful!
One of her accomplishments was to pilot a plane. This is Eathel and Ethel with THEIR plane "Andante". Didn't they have awesome husbands to buy them this??
Mom is forever the example of service. This is a picture I took last week of her crocheting baby booties for the church humanitarian project. I managed to get a pair from her as a memory of what a kind, giving and compassionate woman she is to the end. Thanks Mom for a wonderful life of unconditional love and lasting memories. I'm so glad you lived by me for most of my life and were a part of my families life. You helped me through some of my greatest trials and your example has made me a better person. Love you Forever, Like you for always.................
