Mom Davis taught us to lay flowers on the graves of our loved ones passing. As 2020 has made it hard to get to my mother's grave this year, I will lay them here.
A tradition that my mother (Dorothea) and my grandmom (Emma) would do, and I don't think anyone noticed, they would light a candle and let it burn down on the birthday, and the day the person died. It was to let them know they were still thinking of them. They also, if they could place flowers on their grave.
Notes of interest: She was at the Chicago School of Nursing when her brother was in a severe car accident and had to drop out. She later went to work for Sears, Roebuck & Company in Chicago in the accounting department. She purchased a home on Lawrence Street in Benton Heights, Michigan; where she let her parents & siblings live for free while living in Chicago and commuting home on the weekends and holidays.
This is for my mother, I love you and miss you. I'm sorry that the family feud would not even let us be together in your final years. Your grandchildren missed you.
