My mother was born on February 15th, 1928, in a small town in Wisconsin called Middleton. She and her brothers and sisters were raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In my opinion, she was closest to my Aunt Jeanette, who is just a couple of years older than she was. They both talked on the phone every week. Mom raised us kids in a small town in Wisconsin called Cudahy myself Richard, Lorna, Marie, Janet, and Steve. She raised us alone during some hard times. She works two jobs a nurse's aid during the day and a waitress at night. She made sure we never went without. In the 1970s, mom moved to Bradenton, Florida. Where she met a man named Robert Whitley, they were married and had a beautiful life. She is now going to be next to him forever — our whole family, both here and around the country will always love you.
