I had a great childhood with my mom. She was loving and caring and sweet and she helped my dad (Eddie) to keep all three of us kids (I and my two brothers Michael Hale Samons and Ernest Samons) in school. She was the parent that stayed home raised us three kids and taught us right from wrong while my dad worked. She taught me and my two brothers everything that we all three needed to know about this world. She was our inspiration. When we all three did wrong we all three got spanked by her. My mom was a very special woman she was always with us three kids. She was there by my side when I got married for the first time to my first husband Carl and when he got sick and he passed away she was there by my side. When I got married again the second time to my second husband Matthew W. Seidel she was sick with her cancer and she couldn't go. She was so sick with cancer and in Hospice care and living in a caregiving facility where she passed away on January 10th 2013 with my oldest brother Michael by her side.
