To me they are very valuable and I will treasure them for the rest of my life untill we have the joy of meeting again. We just had lunch with a dear friend, still celebrating my birthday. She also had Mom over for tea during her final visit with us here in the USA, in 2005. Fond memories all over and Mom was very much loved here in Dublin!<br />Hugs,<br />Mariette<br />Hugs,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-83933102863974586302015-02-10T23:08:07.358-05:002015-02-10T23:08:07.358-05:00Dear Mariette,

Such moments are forever framed onto my retina and we also have video tapes. Here we both went to Church where she had to sing in her choir for a 40th wedding anniversary. Next day we left by train for the hotel near the airport and flight back to the USA...<br />Yes, our Friday was special as it was my first birthday with Mom being in heaven and we enjoyed a lovely 5-course dinner, gifted by our good friend and lady chef from Ristorante da Maria. It was perfect and made us very happy. <br />Hugs,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.com
