Kathleen W. Haley, Kitty, Aunt Kittyatha, Mom #2
All of these names describe the same wonderful lady, my second Mother. Krista and I met 44 years ago and that's when I also met her Mom. From the first day that I met her until the last time that I saw her, Mom#2 always treated me like one of the family and I always felt welcome at 1419 Spring Ave and 13415 Fork Rd. Maybe I was part of the family since, after our Senior year of high School, Krista's Mom and Dad gave the ok for me to take a 3 week car trip to Idaho with them to visit Keith; I went as his sister.
As time passed, and I saw Mom Haley less frequently, she would still greet me and make feel welcome whenever I would see her. Her kindness wasn't only given to me. Many years ago when my husband (then boyfriend) moved from Virginia to Maryland and needed a place to stay, Krista's Mom and Dad invited him to use their basement apartment while he found a permanent place to live. Later on when Dave and I got married, Mom #2 made the dresses for our flower girls.
I have many memories of Mom Haley. One that I will never forget and that meant so much to me was her compassion when she attended my Mom's funeral and made a point to speak to me .As she comforted me, she said " Your Mom will never truly be gone as long as you keep her in your heart."
Krista, Kara, Kevin and Keith, your Mom will never truly be gone because I will always keep her in my heart as well. May God grant her peace and reunite her with your Dad.
