Tributes
Leave a tributeShe was a very special lady and was loved by all of us in Tennessee
who had the privilege of knowing her. She had so much talent in many
kinds of art and could see the beauty in everything. My favorite painting of hers was the "The Iris of Many Colors" (my name for it). I have many
keepsakes that she made for Bill and I, and so many pictures she took of Bill are a treasure for me. She loved living in our old Farmhouse and we loved having her there. So glad she had you to go to in the last part of her life.

Things I miss
I remember many road trips with Mom. I've been thinking about them a lot since she passed. As we traveled many, many miles across country Mom would tell me things and point things out people, nature, and life in general. I remember thinking many times that I was just tired of hearing her philosophy about things and wanted her to hush so I could ride in silence. Now that silence is heartbreaking.
I wish I could talk to her once again and hear her comment on the un-interesting tidbits of life. She could talk about anything and make it seem like a life-lesson. The things that were annoying are now things that I long to hear about again. She used to coach everybody who would listen regarding cooking, gardening, art, color palettes, plants, and many other subjects.
Man - I miss her. She was such a huge part of life and most irreplaceable. Everybody's mom is irreplaceable but when it's yours there's a special kind of emptiness when she's gone. The one that always was there - always...through thick and thin - whether she was disappointed, mad or proud of me...she always was there, and now she's gone. There's no way to make myself get over it and my heart is so sad.
