I only met your mom a few times. She had a kind heart and was so sweet. Fred remembers her from childhood and said " she was an awesome lady". Thinking of you all. Take care. Love the Aikens

Six hours turn to six months and will turn into six years and six decades.  Years ago I didn't understand what it meant when mom said that it does not matter what you do, just do the very best you can at whatever you do.  Those words ring so very true today, and now I understand that the wisdom and integrity I gained from our mother and father will carry all of us through the bad times and make the good times that much better.  Love you Mom and Dad.

only one story???

September 20, 2013

sharing one story seems impossible right now. there are so many fond memories of mom. there is one common denomintor to them all: love. mom was the most caring person i ever knew. she always put the needs of others ahead of her own. i highly doubt there is one single person that has been touched by mom in a negative way.spending time with her grandchildren and watching them grow brought her the greatest joy.
mom instilled some very good virtues in me, some that took longer to mature than others, and some are still maturing. it has been a tremendous blessing to have the mother i have had. she will be dearly missed yet always remembered.
