Excellent cook

February 19, 2021
On this day, what would have been my moms 80th birthday, I am reminded of what a great cook she was. On cold winter’s days like today, my favorite meal of hers was pot roast and veggies. I still cannot make it the way she did. 

Another favorite meal of mine was her shrimp newburg. I am going to make that this weekend in her honor. 

Happy Birthday mom

Mom in the newspaper

February 19, 2020
Today would have been mom’s 79th birthday. I miss you every day. With each year that passes, when her birthday comes around - I try to remember what a great person she was - instead of the pain and loss we all still feel these years later. She was patient, respectful, religious, very kind, loved to laugh, always thinking of others before herself. To honor her, here is a newspaper article from the local paper many years ago. It showcases what she loved to share with the world, her artwork!  Mom, your talent was - and still is - an inspiration to me. Happy Birthday 

Tony's College Graduation

September 17, 2016

Graduation day for Tony, May 12th, 1986 from Old Dominion University.  This photo was taken shortly after I'd received my diploma.  I can still remember how proud and happy my parents were for me, especailly considering some of the trying times I had during those four years.

Hatteras Vacation - Long Ago

September 17, 2016

Here are mom, dad and Tony on vacation long ago (I believe I was about 14 or 15 years old).  Our family started going here for vacations each summer when I was a little child.  To this day I still go there every year that I can.  I have great memories here.  Very peaceful, relaxing place and I somehow feel closer to mom the entire time that I visit here.  I will go there as often as I can for the rest of my life.

Forever Caring

September 17, 2016

The thing I remember most about my mom was her wonderful, caring spirit.  She always placed others' interests and concerns before her own, and it was probably the thing most people found so endearing about her.  Here, she is taking care of me on one of our family vacations which we used to go on almost every summer when my dad was out of school.

I think of you every day.
Love and miss you, mom.

Your Son - Tony
