Mom was always busy whether it be a new adventure, another quilt to stitch, volunteering her time, baking shortbread and perischkes, making her famous crab apple jelly, figure skating, reading, a friendly visit, raising Labradors, a phone call to offer kind words, delving further into her genealogy trees, spending time out at the cottage, cooking family meals, writing letters, playing Mah Jong, spending time with family, greeting every dog she saw, and 61 years of church activities.
