Music was mom’s passion.  In this video  everyone joins in singing as mom plays some of our favorite songs.  Everyone loved mom!

This is the last time I heard mom play.  We took turns playing the keyboard and had a wonderful time together.  It was our last visit together.

Mom loved her pearl necklace and matching earrings!  She loved her red lipstick, and always powdered her face.  She loved being a Floridian and loved the palm trees and the ocean!  But most of all, she loved serving the Lord!  Now she’s praising God with the angels in heaven!

Mom always had a positive outlook on life.  She always saw the glass as half full.  She always had a song in her heart and shared her joy with other people every time she had a chance.  Even in the last weeks of her life she continued to bring a smile to others.

That was my fabulous mom!!

How do I begin to talk about the most wonderful person I have ever known?  Mom has been the greatest influence of my life!  She took care of me in my childhood and was my emotional support system through out my adult life.  Her support and unconditional love will be with me for the rest of my life!
