Sweetest wife, mother, sister, daughter, friend, and grandmother. I know people did not appreciate you when you were here but your glory comes now in heaven. ✝️
You put everyone before yourself. You were kind, generous, loving. Forever in my heart❤️
We miss your presence, always full of love, grace, and laughter.
I treat people the best I can because of you. That's the way I would have wanted people to treat you. You have been mistreated in your life by people that you would give the world to. People that should have cherished you for all that you did for them. Que sera sera. Life has a way of dealing with people who are cruel. You told me to let it go and I did.
"If you have nothing nice to say then don't say it".
On his anniversity of your death I choose to try to become the woman you were. Loving, forgiving , full of life and having fun. Generous with your time and always being there if someone needed you. Your had such great love for your family your niece's and nephews, friends. Most of all for your God.
If I could become 1/2 the woman you were I would be great full.
My mom to you I give everything. Without you I would had been nothing!
I Loved and still Love my mom and everyday since here ascension to the Lord I feel her presence.
I miss your touch mom.

White Christmas
It started out like any other holiday season. The year was 1962. Some snow had already begun to blanket the ground. This year my mother said I have a very special tree. Paul and I looked at mom with wide eyed amazement. A special tree. It must be a real tree Paul I said. Oh goody. We never had a real tree before. Mom started to drag in a long cardboard box. No Linda I don't think it's real. It still could be, maybe they package them that way. Well my brother was right out came this tall white skinny tree. It was 7 ft tall. Thin tiny branches and only about 2 ft wide. That's the ugliest tree I have ever seen I shouted. Are you trying to ruin Christmas? Just get the garland and ornaments you'll see mom said. As we stared to put on the trimmings the tree toppled over. Dimo please come and help. My dad had to figure a way for the tree not to fall over. So dad got a nail, hammer and twine he had to hammer into the wood windowsills and there it was our beautiful 1962 Christmas tree. It was placed in the front window for all the world to see. My friends would tease me about the ugliest Christmas tree on Howe Ave., but my mom only saw the beauty in it.
Well every year this went on. Probably for 10 years or more. One day Dad came home with a real live Christmas tree. The smell was wonderful and you did not have to nail it to the sill. Mom was so disappointed but didn't show it. We all just stared to trim the tree. Every year the tall,skinny tree became the biggest joke at Christmas. Years later my mom told me how much it hurt her because she loved her white tree. She never said a word. Mom today I would give the whitest, skinniest Christmas tree in the world just to see that smile you had on your face back in the good old days of 1962.
