The picture you have chosen is such a good one! Your mom always had a smile and looked on the bright side. When she still lived in the house on First Street I stopped in to say "hello", her welcome was immediate even though it had been years since I'd seen her. She has been in my life since I was about 2 years old -- and I can't think of any memory that was not positive!! Baking and cleaning on Saturday's (chores first, then play!), hiding cookies in the freezer (!), great bread and buns -- and always a welcome. She was a hard worker and kept the immigrant mentality (scrape ALL the cookie dough from the bowl, now!) in her teaching (and scolding) of her children. {another memory - re-wrapped Christmas gifts!!} I know you will miss her and that shows your love for her, and her for you. May the heritage you have inherited bear you up in this time of grieving. My thoughts will be with you {John, Linda, Susan, Kathy & David - and your spouses and children} as you celebrate her life and say goodbye.
I am thankful I will see her again someday.
