Her Life

My Mother-Lois Bowen

February 9, 2012

My mom was such an anazing person.. She overcame so many obstacles in her life. She was a very young widow at age 41. This left her with 2 children still at home. Through the years she had several health  problems. She had heart surgeries, renal failure & lost both her legs. She kept going on & praising God!  When we moved to Tennessee she was like a little child, she was so excited & she loved looking at the mountains...She loved her kids & grandkids & great-grandkids. Sometimes she had trouble expressing her love but she overcame that! She loved life. The day she died I asked her to show me that I had made the right decison about stopping all life supports.for her. Anyway, an hour later it started snowing so beautifuly. To me that was my answer. If you knew mom & I you would understand what this meant. Snow was a special thing for mom & I. I also want to say that she always said that she could never be a donor because her " parts" were no good. Well, she helped 10 people by giving the donation of her beautiful brown eyes. I love you mom..
