{Mom Lived 11 Days Short of her 66th Wedding Anniversary}

When Mom went to Heaven on January 27th, she was ONLY 11 days short of her 66th Wedding Anniversary on February 7!

This is my Mom, wearing her favorite brocade suit from J.C. Penny Outlet, which she bought with me when visiting us in Georgia.

She also did wear the Majolica pearls, that we gifted her for Saint Nicholas, Dec. 6 1983—she always kept them close to her heart!
I have several pictures of Mom where she is looking very happy!
That's how all our dear friends remember her...

This was on our 42nd trip to The Netherlands... out of 64 total.
We went with Mom to a 40th wedding anniversary Mass where she sang with her choir.

Congratulations anyway dear Mom; you have accomplished so much!

Here on this earth you do have a very proud eldest (alive) daughter.

Thanks for being my Mom for 64 years minus 10 days...

I know for sure that I had the best and the sweetest Mom!
