Mom, never liked to be referred to as 'she'... So please forgive me Mom, but it will be necessary here.  

Mom was a vivacious, courageous woman. Outgoing, certainly outspoken. She was a hard working provider; a strong Mother.  Perferct, nope... but who is??  She loved to laugh and dance.  Mom loved music, and great company.  A full hand of great great friends She treasured.  That I know.  

Mom loved her family; her mother and brothers and sisters, and her nieces and nephews.  She loved her three children, 4 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren. She adored us all, in her own way, each different, yet deep ran her love.  That I know.

She is on her new journey just a few days short of 2 years now.  Glorious it must be.  Freespirited and nothing but LOVE.  Yet, She is here with us all.  Watching, guiding, protecting and even whispering, if we listen hard enough. That I know.

Gone from sight Mom, but never ever forgotten and missed beyond words.  This I sorrowfully know.
