When Mom made her surprise visit to NJ/NY in August of 2011, she had to make sure she got to see her best friend, Cleo while she was here. When she called Cleo to tell her that she was in Jersey, it just so happened that Cleo was having her retirement party the next day! The timing couldn't be more perfect!

It had been many years since Mom or any of us had seen Cleo's daughter, Venida and her children and we got to surprise them too! It felt like a family reunion!

Mom always loved to dance and it was so great that she got this chance to dance with her best friend.

This was Mom's last visit to NJ/NY in August of 2011 (a year before her passing). She only told me (Lovelynn) and my husband that she was coming to visit. It was a spur of the moment trip. She wanted to take the trip while she was still feeling good before she started another round of chemotherapy. This was the day after she arrived. We made up a story of why we were coming for a visit in the middle of the week so Cyndi wouldn't be suspicious...and it worked! She was shocked!!

I am so thankful that Mom decided to make this trip. She spent a week and a half at each of our houses...a total of 3 weeks...before heading out to CA to visit her sister, Ceci. It was the longest visit she had made to NJ/NY since she moved to FL in 1996. I will never forget those precious weeks we were able to share with her.

Thank you Mom for giving us such a wonderful gift!
