Excellent cook
Another favorite meal of mine was her shrimp newburg. I am going to make that this weekend in her honor.
Happy Birthday mom
Here are mom, dad and Tony on vacation long ago (I believe I was about 14 or 15 years old). Our family started going here for vacations each summer when I was a little child. To this day I still go there every year that I can. I have great memories here. Very peaceful, relaxing place and I somehow feel closer to mom the entire time that I visit here. I will go there as often as I can for the rest of my life.
The thing I remember most about my mom was her wonderful, caring spirit. She always placed others' interests and concerns before her own, and it was probably the thing most people found so endearing about her. Here, she is taking care of me on one of our family vacations which we used to go on almost every summer when my dad was out of school.
I think of you every day.
Love and miss you, mom.
Your Son - Tony
