Jane, Julie and Paula,
I am so sorry that you lost your mom. She was always so much fun to be with. It think it is a tribute to her that her kids and their friends actually wanted to hang out with them. Not many people are that versatile and enjoyable. She and your dad were both great people. I hope all of your Crab Orchard and KY Lake memories will prevail over those of the last few years. Let me know if you need anything and I'll be there.

My Mom was a trooper about living in the nursing home. She never asked to be taken home or complained about being there. She didn't press us about when we'd be back for a return visit. While she was still able, she made friends at the nursing home and became a favorite of the staff with her joking remarks and never ending sense of humor. She definitely wasn't out to make anyone feel guilty about her predicament.
She prearranged and prepaid all of her funeral arrangements, taking the burden off of us and helping us to make sure her wishes were followed. I felt very loved when I realized that she had taken the care to cover most all of the details.
Both of my parents sacrificed to provide me the opportunity of a college education. I was able to excel in my coursework in part because I didn't have to work while I was going to school. I now realize how much that meant.
Mom was a great, very fun, down to earth mother, and I feel very blessed and proud to have been her daughter.
Paula,
Remembering sugar cube feasts in your mom's kitchen and giving her trouble because we were mean to Jane and Julie. She loved us anyway. Thinking of all of you during this difficult time.
Connie
Paula, Jane and Julie,
May God comfort you in this time of grief. Your memories will keep your Mom in your hearts forever. My prayers are with you at this time.
