Today is Mother's Day and I sit here thinking of you and your endless love for me and the others that you showed by being there for us no matter what we did. You worked selflessly and tirelessly many times for us, despite how tired you were at times. I miss you every day and love you very much. I look forward to the day that we meet again and I get one of your bear hugs. Love you

My mother was a nurse, chaufferette, gardener, flower grower, she helped dad for years with the harvesting in August. Mom loved to do pottery, hand-painting and calligraphy. She would go out on adventures with dad and take pictures of the beautiful landscape, take them home and paint. Mom and dad went to farmers markets when the kids moved out and retired and made numerous friends.
